Below is the music video for 'Beetlebum' by Blur:

This video uses setting interestingly. The band, Blur, are shown to be playing a stuffy old room in someone's flat, this is a funny use of setting because it isn't where you'd expect a band to be playing. This seems to show where this particular band come from: their social class, their possible home/their rehearsal space. By doing this the video makes us have a possible connection with the band and really makes it personal to them as if we we're there watching them play/practice.

In my music video I could also use this idea of using an odd setting where the band I use will be playing.Like what I said in the post about the video for 'Charmless Man', I think I will have the band playing in places that the character in my video passes, such as certain rooms or streets or smaller, more cramped places like a lift or in a bathroom. 



Another video that uses this idea of setting is the one to 'Coffee and TV' by Blur again. It too uses the use of a dark, stuffy looking room that the band are playing in which again makes it personal and allows us into their personal are where the band plays.
