Jonathan Glazer- Music video director

Jonathan Glazer is a English film maker, his work also includes feature films, music videos and commercials. After Jonathan's successful career in advertising he began in the music video direction industry.  A couple of his creations include "Radiohead", "Unkle" and "Massive attack". Jonathan's likes to stick to a similar style as  it can be easily recognized his work is very unique and stimulating, for example, his videos consist of a very few camera shots that are focused around one everyday location. 

The videos usually contain little editing or cutting as he feels this would be taking out the crucial parts. Narrative is present which is quiet rare in a music video, an example of this would be in the music video "Karma Police" by "Radiohead" where a car is seen driving down a dim light road in the background we hear narrative revealing what is happening. 

Jonathan uses these ideas to build suspense as in several of his other videos it shows people walking at a slow pace down a road, almost shadowing this build up to the beat. Over all his videos contain a lot of mystery and thrilling moments  in order to keep the enigma. Many of creations do not make perfect sense but this is his plan as he wants his work to come across as diverse without the use of special effects and too much editing. 

Karma Police - Radiohead

We watch the video as if we were driving the car from the mans point
of view.

The video carries on with the car driving down the road, the location
stays the same likewise with the shot and angle.The only change
is the man appearing ahead.

The frame switches to the artist sitting in the car, and he is singing.
This is the only cut away shot.

The continuity editing carries on and we go back to our
original view, the video draws to an end as we come closer
to the man.
