This video for 'Two Lovers' by The Twang is another example of a purely narrative music video, with the actions being showed on screen largely following the the lyrics of the song. Again, there is no example of any sort of live performance, with the video simply telling the same story that the lyrics are implying. The video follows a couple, mainly focusing on the male character, and his dodgy antics. The band do not feature in the video, which is unusual, as this does not comply to the standard conventions of a music video, particularly for an indie band. This video, similarly to the Just Jack video, uses a famous actor, Danny Dyer, this draws the audience in, as they are interested by the use of a famous actor. The use of a quality and well-known actor heightens the storyline of the video, as well as making it more intriguing for the audience. The fact that the actor is well known for playing a certain type of character makes the storyline more believable as the character described in the song matches that of the actor. The narrative pretty well matches the lyrics, so is relevant to the story being told in the video. The use of a famous actor, as well as the narrative is successful as it makes the video more memorable. This is particularly useful as the band 'The Twang' aren't a particularly well known band, so this video makes them more memorable to the audience as well.
