The Chapman Family - Anxiety
This is very clever music video, in my opinion it has a clever portrayal of youth gang crime in the U.K. something that can be seen protrayed from the council flat setting, the clothes worn and the make up used to show the different gangs. It also fits well with the song title "Anxiety" fitting in with themes of teenage anxiety caused by the gang violence portryaed in the video. It also gets even more clever at the big climatic end when it looks like two gangs are about to face off with each other then strip naked and embrace each other, offering quite a strange if unique message about spreading love rather than violence. The video also contains quite a few decent camera shots especially at the end when they all strip naked so nothing explicit is seen, as well as lots of stunt work with the actors in the video jumping off of ledges which is also cleverly done and fits into the youth culture.
