Introduction
- The genre of this music video is electronic, deep house
- Dull colours used throughout
- Dance song, dancing used in the video
What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
- The only relationship i can see between the lyrics and the visuals is that the lyrics 'You got me washed out, washed out, colour drained' links to the colour of the whole video because it is very dull and there are no bright colours
- Other than that there is no connection between the lyrics and the visuals
What is the relationship between music and visuals?
- The music and the visuals have a very strong link
- When the first beat drops the man suddenly starts to dance in time with the music
- When the music slows down again the guy gets on with his everyday life again, it's almost as if when the music drops he drops his life for a few minutes and dances
Are there close ups of the artist and star image motifs?
- There are no close ups or any shots for that matter of the artists
- There are only actors in the music video
- The sign for Disclosure (the face drawn with white lines) comes up at one point in the music video which shows it is their song and them who made it
Is there reference to the notion of looking?
- There isn't really any reference to the notion of looking apart from the girl
- She is shown close up towards the end and this shows some voyeurism
- There is a little bit of the Male Gaze theory involved but not much at all
Is the music video performance based, narrative based or concept based?
- This music video i would say is completely narrative based
- There is no performance and it is a story of a security guard living another day of his life
Conclusion
- Overall, i like this music video because of the way the dancing fits to the beat
- I think its very well done with the deserted buildings as well
