For my first video, i looked at 'fluorescent adolescent' by english band 'the arctic monkeys',the second single from their second album, 'favourite worst nightmare'.
It was released on the 9th of july 2007, filmed in late april 2007, the music video was directed by Richard Ayoade, and features stephan graham who also featured in previous video ' when the sun goes down'.The music video is based around a fight between a group of clowns and a group on non-clowns at an abandoned warehouse.The presumed leaders of the two groups have a flashback showing that they were friends when they were young children. During the flashback, photos of the band as young children are shown. Throughout the fight, each group leader attempts to kill the other. As the music video climaxes, the non-clown leader tries to run over the clown leader. However the clown leader notices the non-clown leader's car (with the non-clown leader inside) has been leaking fuel and drops his cigarette lighter. The car quickly catches fire and the clown leader looks on as his former friend burns and the music video ends.
The video was preceded by a warning of violent images.[6] In an MTV interview, Turner stated that the music video "is the best thing we've ever done" while Jamie Cook hailed it as "...probably one of the best videos in the last, like, 10 years".
