The document discusses three music videos directed by Mark Romanek, Brendon Small, and Michel Gondry. Mark Romanek's video for Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Can't Stop" features the band interacting abstractly with objects in a bright room without narrative. Brendon Small's animated video for Soundgarden's "Black Rain" tells a dark story of the band battling celestial beasts. Michel Gondry's video for Bjork's "Human Behaviour" uses manipulation of scenes and creatures to reflect the unpredictable nature of humans in a fairy tale-like setting with deep colors and lighting.

Directors label music videos Examining artists and producers
Mark Romanek Red Hot Chili peppers: Cant Stop Mark Romaneks creative style is well known for being abstract, disjointed and bizarre. His video for Cant Stop embodies all of these traits. The video itself features the band members in a large room interacting with a variety of objects e.g. large rubber balls, masks, bins, lights and plastic tubes. There is no narrative and the video uses close ups and bright lighting to put emphasis on the band members, on whom the video is solely focused The video bears no relation whatsoever to the lyrics of the song, however the fast paced editing and constant movement of the band throughout the video matches very well with the theme Cant Stop. Steve Archer suggests the videos
Brendon Small Soundgarden: Black Rain Brendon Small is an animation artist and incorporates vibrant and highly stylistic work into his cartoons and music videos. The music video for Soundgardens Black Rain has a strong narrative, although it doesnt revolve around the lyrics. The video features animated versions of the band members as they battle with celestial beasts that are attacking earth. The video is presented as very dark and this is emphasised by the constant use of greens and reds to highlight the monsters and other features of the music video.
Michel Gondry Bjork: Human behaviour Michel Gondry is a well known directors and has worked on many films as well as collaborating with many artists to work on music videos. He is known for his inventive visuals and eccentric style. The music video for Bjorks human behaviour uses manipulation of mise en scene to reflect the unpredictable nature of humans. The video has a very loose narrative and demonstrates Bjork in the wild surrounded by almost fairy tale like creatures, using them to display the wild part of human nature. Gondry uses very deep and dark colours to emphasis the deep nature of the track and innovative lighting to highlight certain parts of the video e.g. shots of Bjork are always well lit to put emphasis on the fact that she is the star.
