Paramore- Misery Business music video analysis

The narrative of the video is a girl annoying and upsetting various people at her school. She cuts another girls hair off, pushes over a boy with a broken arm and interrupts a conversation between a girl and her boyfriend to kiss him. The lead singer of the band, Hayley Williams shows the girl up by showing everyone she stuffs her bra and wipes her make up off. This humiliates the girl and makes her look stupid.
Throughout the video the band are performing in a black room with white graffiti writing on the wall, with the name of the album 'riot!. The men are wearing matching outfits and the lead girl is wearing scruffy clothes with messy hair and ostentasious make up.
There are many close up shots of significant things in the video, such as the girls plait, the boys cast and Hayley's face. This is to outline to the audience what they should be paying attention to. Whilst filming the band playing, to add to the chaos in the room the camera is quite shakey and had very sudden movements. It often changes to black and white too, again to add to the chaos of the room, matching the album title 'riot!'.
