Massive Attack- Unfinished Sympathy

 

Establishing shot of gang and their dog, sets the scene that the music video is in a more low income, lower class area. Adds humour as the dog is wearing sunglasses. 

Aerial shot of gang , graffiti behind them. Massive attack are a band from Bristol who often focus on poverty and areas affected as well as making political statements about the state of countries welfare and lack of a fair government. 

One take, tracking shot. Introduced to female singer and lead in music video. Goes against the norm at the time as it wasn't common to see black females portrayed on screen without being sexualised or victimised. 

People in background, father and son. Litter along the streets, shows poverty. Mid shot of singer, oblivious to the people around her. She is consumed by her sadness. or just used to her environment around her, climatized.
