Imagine Dragons- Radioactive
I found this video to be very interesting due to the unique way in which animation is used so sophisticatedly alongside normal, unedited footage. The concept of using children’s toys within the video intrigued me as I like the idea of hidden/deeper messages; the soft toys are symbolic of the way in which the ‘new age’ is being bred and raised as weapons of destruction and harm by those above them. I believe this to be an example of subtle anti-war protest and a criticism of the government; a very controversial issue and therefore something which interests me so.
The Black Keys- Next Girl
This video is one of my favourites; they successfully incorporate humour into the video by way of sarcasm and micky-taking. The video itself is somewhat ‘typically different/unique’ which is what makes the words that run across the bottom so effective; they comment on the video in dry humour and are therefore successful in keeping the viewer entertained and interested in a very unique and clever way.
