Enter Shikari - Juggarnauts


The Band Enter Shikari in the video “Juggarnauts” that we studied shows the band in casual clothing and reflects their rock/indie style. They wear t-shirts and casual shirts and some ¾ length trousers and normal trousers. The surroundings are sandy and quite dull with lots of use of shadows. These things in the video help represent a rock style and genre and go with the conventions; they don’t really seem to challenge them.

Pendulum – Granite

Pendulum’s video “Granite” is a variety of random clips that don’t show the band at all. It consists of news reports from different news readers around the world and home video clips. The clips cut to the beat of the music and we could base this video on our own. We could use random video clips from different places that represent the lyrics, and don’t show the band. This is different to Enter Shikari’s video as it goes against the conventions of dance/indie music as you don’t see the band and the video consists of just random video clips.

The Prodigy – Warrior’s Dance

The video for Warrior’s Dance by The Prodigy consists of everyday materials that come to life through animation. At first the cigarette packets are swept onto the road and then they come to life and act as real people. Again like the video Granite you don’t see the band and this goes against the conventions of a dance video. However the clips do cut to the music and the video has a slight narrative. We could use this technique in our video of stop-animation however it is not widely used in music videos; it would go against the conventions of a dance/indie video.
