Radiohead - Street Spirit
This video is entirely filmed in black and white which already creates a certain grey and gloomy mood, which is how some would describe the sound of the song. Throughout the video a lot of effects are used in order to slow people down while everything around them moves at a regular pace. A lot of the events that has been put into slow motion would potentially have a different outcome on the person involved if it was not to have been slowed down, for example the person falling backwards on the chair would've suffered an injury but in this case they did not. There are also a lot of shadows that travel across the screen and put the lead singer temporarily in the darkness. The same thing happens with bare trees which are glowing white until they go into the dark which could connote that they are losing their purity or optimism.
Overall, this video creates a very dark and melancholy mood which is known to be stereotypical of Radiohead. It also creates voyeurism through the use of effects.
