Charmless Man

The Pharcyde-Drop 
I liked how the video was played backwards but the group had to act out their song in reverse to give it the effect that they're actually normal whilst everyone else is backwards. This is using a 
Charmless Man by Blur is a story driven and a humorous music video (Goodwin) that's centred around the band performing wherever the main character is going in his daily life. The unnamed man who is a wealthy business man is having a mid-life crisis because the only thing he has in his life is his money and its not making him happy. The video starts of with a disequilibrium as the main character is running down the street and he looks like he's running away from something then it cuts away to the band performing which it does quite a lot in this video (Firth).

I think its inspired us to have the band performing within the music video like they did in this one. I personally liked the idea of having the band having an effect on the story of the video and interacting with the band which in this case was the band driving the "charmless man" to edge and him eventually running them over.
