Having done a presentation in lesson on my progress since the beginning of the A2 course, I realised that whilst my work was progressing accordingly, I still had forgotten to research a quite important aspect of music video, the director. I decided to pause my planning for a moment whilst I researched different music video directors, to gain an understanding of the certain styles/methods some directors use.

Whilst this post didn't address the more technical aspects of music video, I felt that it allowed me to gain an understanding of the intense planning that goes into making music videos, and the necessity of organisation.
This research taught me that many music video directors often stay within the same genre of song when producing videos, for example Grant Gee particularly focuses on the alternative rock genre, with these being a few of his productions:
Gavin Bryars with Tom Waits - "Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet" (1993)
Spooky - "Stereo" from Stereo EP (1995)
Spooky - "Shunt" from Shunt EP (1996)
Spooky - "Fingerbobs" from Found Sound (1996)
Radiohead - "No Surprises" from OK Computer (1997)[3]
Mansun - "Six" from Six (1999)
Blur - "Tender" from 13 (1999)
The Auteurs - "The Rubettes" from How I Learned to Love the Bootboys (1999)
Jean-Louis Murat - "Jim" from Mustango (1999)
Coldplay - "Shiver" from Parachutes (2000)
Badly Drawn Boy - "Another Pearl" from The Hour of Bewilderbeast (2000)
Mansun - "I Can Only Disappoint U" from Little Kix (2000)
Idlewild - "Roseability" from 100 Broken Windows (2000)
