Music Video Auteurs.

Michael Gondry:
Example: The White Stripes- Fell in love with a girl.

From looking at a number of Gondry's music videos, it is clear to say that they are unusual and use a high level of special effect camera work. The example I have chosen out of the many video's that Gondry has choreographed in recent years, is the white stripes video- 'Fell in love with a girl'. The use of Lego figurines is imminant right the way through the video and is shown in a repetitive manner. I feel this video swings from the entropic side of music videos, but also represents a redundant side. An example of this is that Lego character's can't physically show human emotion, but it is now in this day and age that animals and man made objects are shown with human feelings on music video's and films.
