My Favourite Music Video

This is a song by The xx called 'islands' who are a indie pop band. This music video is about the breakdown of a relationship that exists between the couple dancing at the back. The set also slowly breaks down through the video which ends up in flames (representing the couples relationship being destroyed). As the video continues the colours get duller and less people are on the screen. Every time it goes back to the couple it is the same dance moves that they do, every time they go back though there is a slight change again to represent them slowly separating apart. This is my favourite music video because it is different to most other videos which also has a real meaning to it. This video uses some of the key conventions of the music videos because it uses lip syncing but does not have any instruments playing.
