Video Research 3 | The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank

This video, by director Spike Jonze, features a clear narrative to it. I have outlined key points below:

• Narrative, woman doing gymnastics competion.
• There is a feeling of following Todorov's narrative formula, as she injures herself, and is helped by her mum arriving
• Features a different sing before the main song.
• Video is approx. 1:30 mins longer than song due to the opening
• Features Slow Moton, which occurs at the same time in the song (with the line 'Who is this...')
• The performance has clearly been coreagraphed to the song, as it would be in a real competion.
• The narrative also fits with the song, eg: it is tense during the drum part.
• Lots of shot variety. 
• Also see basic layering involved too.

80s Montage

And she begins again, new found strength, doing leaps very 80s montage such part, fade in and out of her, her, coach, and her. Lands and people cheer as the performance ends. A picture is taken as it ends and we zoom out from it immemorialised in trophy cabinet.
