Favourite Music Videos

These are a few of my favourite music videos.

This is Nirvana's 'Heart Shaped Box', I love it because it's so outrageous, because it aims to be shocking to audiences and achieves it, even though the band look completely calm. It also makes the audience think, and encourages discussion, which I think is an important thing in the world of film and media. I hope to make my video in some way controversial.

This is a particular favourite, Arcade Fire's 'We Exist'. This is rather obviously pointing out the inequality that exists in the world today against people in LGBT communities. It shows that being apart of the LGBT movement is not a bad thing and does it in such a way that it gives you goosebumps (no time for inequality!). I want to try and use this idea of standing up against negativity and encourage controversy.

This is Jack White's 'Lazaretto', I love it because the narrative fits with the genre of the song, it's a really out-there, deep kind of rock blues song with a ultra-cool video, signifying the coolness that is Jack White and rock music.

And finally, Muse's great cover of 'Feeling Good', I love it because Muse are known for being completely crazy, and the distortion on their faces makes you think, "are they really feeling that good or is this irony?"
