Comparing And Contrasting - Harrison Twinn

Club Foot - Kasabian

In 'Club Foot' by Kasabian, the video shows the band members and possibly other characters rebelling around a rural area. Whilst it's not the same kind of havoc we did in our music video, the performance and non-linear structure are striking similar. We used dark areas like they have, but we shot our performance at nighttime rather than in dark rooms in daylight.



Similarities

- Uses dark scenery
- Characters causing havoc, as well as the band members
- Showing capabilities with instruments
- Urban areas
- Non-linear (to an extent)

Differences

- Monochromatic/Greyscale filters
- Chaotic locations
- Ridiculous costumes

Fluorescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys

This music video by the Arctic Monkeys is very dedicated to the voilence that is shown. We didn't use this kind of havoc; rather we used a more hooligan approach to the havoc. The band isn't shown in the video and it heavily relies on the acting of the extras and characters. This video may be showing the dual personality of people through the use of a possible dual personality like we did in our video, but their approach is more conflicting.



Similarities

- Characters causing havoc
- Non-linear (to an extent)
- Urban areas
- Dual personality? (Ordinary people vs. Clowns/Normality vs. Variety)?

Differences

- Doesn't show band members
- Done only in the day
- Violence
