Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down


The video was directed by Paul Fraser.
I have chosen this video because it has a story attached to it which is clearly explained throughout the video. It is implied in the video that the girl featured is a prostitute and the male character is a pimp and the song is heavily narrated throughout. 
The colouring of the video is clever as it is quite dark and shows that it was quite a run down area which is aided by the way the buildings look as well as how the people dress. 
The editing becomes very fast at 2:12, showing a fight scene. The fighting in the middle once again aids the type of place that the music video was set in and the frequent blurring of the camera during the video expresses confusion, panic and fear from the girl.
