I was searching through Youtube and came across the video for Dry Your Eyes by The Streets. In my opinion, I don't think it's the greatest music video ever made, and it's nothing special in terms of editing, but it is a massive influence for the video that I am making because of the atmosphere that it creates. The lyrics of the song suggest that he has been on the end of a bad break-up, and make up the underlying narrative, while the video itself tries to capture how depressed and lonely he is. There are several long shots of Skinner in desolate locations and his body language suggests this feeling of loneliness, as well as the fact he is the only person in the video and his dog is the only thing that keeps him company.
