Independant Work

Blur - Parklife - Analysis:

• The video opens with a shot of a front door and a man being greeted with a window sales msn, this brings humour to the video and straight away shows the audience it is story like.
• The fish eye shot brings a sense of surrealism to the video although it also has reality tied within it.
• The lyrics and visuals match as the man says 'oi' as he directly looks into the camera.
• The running man and the kids loitering on the car also brings a theme of chilhood and fun to the piece.
• The car breaks down and smokes rises from the bonnit, this represents him as a lower class citizen,this is in contrast to his costume and therefore represents him as a kind of fake/liar.
• 'You should cut down on your pork pies mate get some exercise' represents as being funny man but also a kind of rude one.
• opens packed lunch in the car and snatches sandwich of the other man, makes him look un classy. 
• The lyric 'Parklife' is used and the camera focuses on a sign on the wall. 
• The video features typical british icons such as telephone box and a ice cream van.
• The video is made to look fun and colourful with the multicoloured umbrella routine.
• The band break the fourth wall throughout the video.
