Arctic Monkeys - Star Image


Arctic monkeys from alex00112233


This music video was made in 2006 and produced by Domino's studio. It is an obvious organic music video due to the camerawork, editing and quality. Most of the video is of the bands life and them going to the US and it uses a low quality grainy effect to add authenticity. There are a lot of quick cuts that make it seem like it isn't as carefully thought out as an organic video. The narrative is not very detailed and the camerawork constantly looks handheld as if the person filming was with them their whole lives. They are famous for the black and white authentic look as it makes them quite sophisticated and cool. However their video features them performing live in front of an audience. Although they are popular, around this time they had very small crowds and judging by the video, low budgets too.

This video was released in 2014 and was available to purchase on major online platforms such as iTunes etc. Already we know that the band has become very famous worldwide and this video proves their success. The video again looks authentic but this time professional. They also sport a new look that brings the past into the present. The quality is immaculate and the camerawork is steady and the editing skills are spectacular. They bring synthetic features with them due to the style of the video. It looks like it had a large budget and that it was carefully planned out. The band still features in the video but correlates with the female that is the main focus of the story.
