Unkle - Rabbit in your headlights

This Music Video by Johnathon Glazer is utterly breathetakeing. I love the way he creates a tense feeling with the dark imagery and close up shots of a obviously distresseed man. The whole movie has a sort of clostraphobic feel from the tunnel aswell as the slow eiry music, i feel the video is a comment on social issues and in parts makes the man alsmost see inhuman by the way some vehicles choose to hit him and others go round.Glazer chooses to show the subject from the front for the majorituy of the movie. this all adds to the tension and the eventual god like overcoming of the mans strgulle upon which the car hittign him is destroyed in a cloud of smoke...



Radiohead - Karma Police

This Video by Glazer shares many similarities with Unkle's Rabbit in your Headlights. the imagery is shot in a very similar way with a continuous shot at first behind a character running along a roud with a ocasional 180 degree rotation to see the lead singer of Radiohead in the back seat. the mystery of the movie helps to create suspense and like Unkles video it concludes with a sort of overcomeing , in thsi case the car that was chaing the man is engulfed in flames from petrol that has leaked from its engine.
