STYLES OF VIDEO: IMPRESSIONIST
Impressionists music videos are very different from other styles of video. Impressionists videos are often created to take a person to a different place by creating a certain mood or feel to the video. An example of impressionist I am going to use is "Atmosphere" by Joy Division.
The video is very haunting to watch but that is what makes it work. The emotive delivery of lyric "don't walk away in silence" is prominent through out the song and having these haunting figures in black and white cloaks adds more to the depressing feel of the song. The video is also very poignant because the hooded figures are carrying pictures of Ian Curtis. Black hooded figures are often related to death and Ian Curtis had died eight years previous. There are not many techniques used in this video and in my opinion I do not think it was needed because it would have changed the feel of the video.
