This is the music video for Bullet For My Valentines "All These Things I Hate". It contrasts with the themes of the other two music videos, as the girl is the main focus of the video, but is not singing, dancing or obviously shown to be a sex object. However, various still shots show her body language to be more of a possession to her boyfriend, rather than an equal, and while he is fully dressed, she is in a skimpy shirt and underwear. She (in the plot of the videos story) is also seen as unable to help when her boyfriends car is ploughed into by a truck, suggesting a "damsel in distress" theme. The angles at which the camera focuses on her body also emphasises the revealing nature of her clothing. It is in this manner that the main protagonist of this music video is objectified and demeaned into being a secondary character and sex object.
