An unsigned band
Here is an unsigned band i found on youtube called the Exiles. I found there video to be very interesting as they push the boundary's of conventional music videos. I like in the beginning of the video how you can see all the everyday surroundings of a British city or village, which shows how the band are not using expensive scenery to try create an image but they are using normal British imagery to create a certain atmosphere. Such as the garden fences and small grassy banks, which as a British audience we would be used to. The setting of this video is intrinsically British. I also admire in this video how a seem to be strange man dressed in a morph suit comes across a bunch of other men who are dressed the same to realize they are part of a band, which brings across as a wacky but funny image which comes across in there music as well, all to build a creative picture of this band.

I'd agree that The Exile's music video is interesting. What is the name of the single they're promoting? Are they are Bristol band? You need to explain this. Again you need to engage with at least one media concept or Goodwin's theory to raise your grade.
ReplyDeleteWatch clips of "The Man Who Fell to Earth" on YouTube (Bowie as an alien search for water to save his planet) there are inter textual references in The Exiles' music video.
Corrie you need to scan your music video analysis of Kasabian's "Empire" which was a strong Level 3. Could you sort this out without delay once you have made suggested revisions.
