Research Into Similar Products: 'Spanish Sahara' by Foals




This is the video to 'Spanish Sahara' by Foals. I am looking at this video because through out the video it has a recurring clip of choppy icy water. This is a recurring theme that emphasis the subject and emotion of the song and creates a cold feel to the video. These shots could be seen as a metaphor, as the song seems to be about someone that has drowned, for the inevitable fate of the person subjected in the song; the place they're headed, and because of the recurrence of the shot, the place they cannot escape.

The 1996 film Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Lurhman also uses this idea of recurring things, in this case also using water. Here is the trailer:
