This is a video from Portishead, one of the most influential groups of the Trip Hop music genre. The group never lets the listener down by always keeping their roots of jazzy bass lines, kickin’ drums, and the voice of Beth Gibbons. I like this video because it’s dark and creative. The use of shouting the characters underwater and then placing them into the scene give the video something unique. It is crazy to watch, sometime the film makers reverse the footage to have hair and shoelaces determine the direction of action. The lighting is dark, but this adds depth to the meaning of the video.
