City of Angels

Although we are well into the production stage of our coursework, I still like to do some research into music videos. In listening to songs on You Tube I stumbled upon this 30 SECONDS TO MARS music video. This video was more like a movie (as referred to in the clip) and I think this was done as Jared Leto (lead singer) is also an actor. I think this was a great way for him to incorporate his two loves. I really love the involvement of other celebrities in this video, it felt very natural and real, which is in contrast to what we typically see now in music videos. It almost brings a connection between the artists/celebrities and their fans. As audiences or fans we feel like we get an insight into their lives.

I think this was a great idea for a music idea. It is 'out of the box' and I really admire the time and thought that went into it. Although I'm not generally a fan of the rock genre, watching this music video made me look further in other rock songs to see what ideas they use for their videos.
