video analysis

The Streets Dry your eyes mate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVaLssMAgY8

the video represents him being alone and how he is sad that he had just come out of a relationship. The video shows him doing everyday things but with his dog. This could be seen as the dog is the only person that he has. I like the use of looking into the camera so it seems like hes telling you are story which he does in lots of his music videos and lots of his songs are story's. I think the video communicates a really clear meaning about being alone and the sadness of just coming out of a realtionship. The video and song are very closely linked and i think the whole video really works with the song and lyrics

The Streets dont mug yourself

This video is also done by telling a story and the ways that mike skinner looks into the camera to show that he is talking to you really makes it feel like this. I really like how the scene just changes which shows that throughout the day he was always thinking about the girl he went out with. The song in its self has quite a strong meaning and i think that the video helps alot to push the meaning forward
