Metronomy



'Thing For Me' by Metronomy is a postmodern video because the dancing in the video is very ironic and the speech bubbles are an intertexual reference to comic books as it 'borrows' the meaning, which also adds to its low culture. Also the structure is played with by the playing with the karoke words on the screen and are replaced by meaningless words with no depth. The video is superficial because of the strange outfits and the way that the karoke comes to life.

  1. Both this and The Rumble Stripes video have a performance element but very different from yours? Can you find a video that reflects the kind of shoot you are intending?
