Arctic Monkeys - Why'd you only call me when your high?
This music video is a-lot more like my chosen song and genre, and the narrative is also quite similar. There is no lip synicing at all through this music video which I think makes the narrative flow better and makes the artist seem completely different from the actual song. Almost like a short film to music. This is the same effect that I want to create with my music video, the sort of disorientation in this music video comes from the cinematography and the shaking camera, this is because they have used a hand held camera so we can almost feel that we are also on drugs and in the unstable position that he is in. The dark leather jacket and vintage hair style also helps re-enforce the vintage look and the indie/rock genre.
The vintage relived style is popular in many indie/rock music video as the genre itself first originated in 1980's America therefore the development from the 1980's is esspecially important as many argue it is a 'genre stook in time'. However quite often alot of music video's focus on the 1940's/50's and 60's. This is because not only does this make the viewer more intreeged but also adds a different and cool edge to the music video itself especially with the costuming and other elements of the mis-en-scene.
This image of the Arctic Monkeys (a band formed in 2002 and still going today) has similar style to these images taken of men in the 1950's and 40's...
This evidently shows that the indie/rock genre keeps the music modern but likes to keep the style older and vintage looking. This mis-en-scene is the design that I have decided to adapt.
