Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Cold Shot analysis
the video tells a story of stevie not pay attention to one of his girlfriends and only loves his guitar which is shown in the video with guitars all around the room in his apartment. it is also displayed in his music with the large amount of guitar riffs and fills. when he is injured in the video it shows a shot of an ambulance, this is a quick way to show that he has gone to hospital. and shows signs of comedy by having a band playing beside him. it also shows this by having all the presents given to his girlfriend related to guitar. this is why he always ends up in hospital due to his girlfriend hating guitar. there is also another funny part where his girlfriend is trying to smash his guitar but he keeps pulling more from behind his sofa.
when he is thrown off a roof it is clear that they use a blow up doll which tells the audience that this is not a serious video and is more for comedy. the lyrics often describe what is happing on screen so this video is more of a narrative type video rather than a performance.
there are regular close ups of stevie playing guitar symbolizing that this is the main theme of the video. it has a blues rock genre which is similar to the jimi hendrix video that we are doing.
there are few different locations in the video ranging from his apartment to the hospital to a rooftop which adds some variety to the video
