  This is anexample of Michel Gondry’s work, the camera pays close attention to the mise en scene as well as the artist. As there many things going on in the background Gondry decides to edit there to be four Kylie’s so that the mise en scene does not dominate the artist. There is not much narrative in this video and the structure is quite repetitive however because of this it stands out and makes it memorable. The message of this cold be that the world revolves around repetitive schedules and split personality.

  Similarly to theother music video it has no established narrative and the video also continually follows the artist to different locations. There is a huge attention to the drum kit and Gordy exploited the strong beat of the song and timed his editing to it. The jump cut make this music video very effective and almost resembles a stop motion a video. The use of costume is simple however it allows the audience to identify the band’s signature fashion of red, black and white.
