As seen earlier in our blog we had initial ideas of using a more perhaps abstract and more technical video as shown in our video choice of 'The Strokes - Hard to Explain', we included this video in an earlier post that we now feel, after studying 'Funnel' and their brand image, we decided that The Strokes video was not suitable to compare to the new ideas that we had in mind. After looking for a video that i feel would better compare to our's i found this video by Babyshambles, an indie-rock band from London and their video for the song 'You Talk', the video uses the same conventions as ours in the fact that there is a use of outdoor shots with a performance from the lead singer using some subtle editing techniques, the vidoe even starts with a walking shot, as does our's. There is also another sequence of shots from another location that are mixed within the main performance of the song. There are further similarities in the song such as the use of medium and close up shots for the majority of the video, there is also a hend-held feel to the cinematography.
