CONTEXT/BAND’S CURRENT SITUATION
Suede are an alternative
rock band, formed in 1989. This is undoubtedly their signature track, having
the most clicks on Spotify. A single from their third album, this is when
according to Anderson Suede were taking a more commercial direction into pop
music away from the art and glam rock.
SYPNOSIS:
A constant cross-cut
between performance
and literal
representation of the lyrics in the form of vignettes, which is divided in black + white and colour respectively.
REPRESENTATION OF THE BAND
The camera movement subtlety gives
Brett Anderson's , the lead vocalist, entrance is of importance, as he
suddenly walks into the frame after the camera has moved to reveal one new
member after a time, even now when I’m awaiting his entrance he’s suddenly
there without me having known it was going to be exactly then.
Following on from that we
get regular lip-synching from Anderson for the large majority of the
performance.

INTRO + OUTRO
The from 3’50 to 3’19, with
30 seconds of the Lalalalala having been cut off. but there are no extra sounds
or silences
added. The video starts with a fade-in from black, (from one band member in MS
to MLS)
and ends with a fade-out
to black. (the whole band in ELS)
RELATIONSHIP OF LYRICS + VISUALS:
There is a direct representation of the lyrics, in both visual sense and that they are titled, so in a way it is a lyric video.
AUDIENCE REPRESENTED/TARGETED?
We have some adolescents/20somethings people, linking to the image of youthful rebellion.
