I have decided to look indepth at three music videos that display the same narrative as the song I have chosen, 'Breakdown'. The videos I have decided to look at are:
The Streets, Blinded by the Lights
Prodigy, Smack My Bitch Up
The Verve, Drugs Don't Work
I know that these videos are mainly about drug useage, however i felt that the lyrics from the song I have chosen are ambiguous and can be related with the themes and coventions found in all three of these music videos. I also wanted to see how the director uses camera shots and mise en scene, to make the audience feel that they are under the same drug influence as the protagonist is. I also wanted to analyse the use of lighting and how it is effective in developing the narrative, and how the sound is edited in time with a moving image and what message is being portrayed to the audience with these two coventions being in transition with each other.
