This shot is of the reaction of the band running through the street by people in a car pulling up to a hotel. The band are troublesome and rebellious so are causing trouble through town. The reactions of the bystanders are dramatic and over the top. This is a convention in music videos because sound cant be used to reinforce a point.

The band on the left and the younger stereotypical teenager group on the right. The shot shows the contrast between the two groups and the band come across as the more dominant group. The band run over naked and shoot a hoop and run off leaving the younger generation speechless. The song is about forgetting your age and been a kid again.
