Royal Blood - Figure it Out from Finish on Vimeo.

Thought Beats: Rock guitars and drums. A hoarse male voice. The song seems very masculine and wouldn't be amiss in a dive bar. It has a grungy quality that is similar to my own track.
Visuals to song: The title and chorus 'Figure it out' works well with the subject. Also, the heavy guitars and chorus start only after the girl runs. When the man and woman embrace, the tempo slows - up until the point when we realise that she has stabbed him.
Star Image:
Technical Aspects: Thing such as the contents of pictures and blood have been made invisible under certain filters due to the fact that red and blue only show up in certain lights. There are a lot of deep shots and quick cuts.
Narrative and Performance: A missing girl has found herself in a shopping mall. People are scared of her. A man comforts her. it is then revealed that she was his victim, and so she stabs him.

I really enjoy the simplicity of how a change in colour can change the context of a music video. Also, the way that the music matches the events of the narrative add suitable pace. Not one word has been said the the audience know the story.
