Chase & Status ‘Let You Go’






The music video to let you go I found particularly interesting as most of the time during the video are camera angles in which are looking at the main characters face or the back of the head this gives the viewer a sense of mystery to the character.



The story about this music video is how a TV presenter very much like Jeremy Kyle who tries to sort out peoples lives and frowns about such things as drugs, drink, affairs, prostitution and goes out and does it after his show.



Its very clever how they show the story without using dialogue from the main characters mouth they use certain camera shots for example a zoom in on his family photo which shows the audience that he is a married man. During the video when he is in the club drunk and on drugs the camera shot is just on his face and as he walks around the club it gives the audience the sense of disorientation as it seems his head is spinning it even makes the audience feel sick with all the strobe lighting in the background.



The music itself also goes very well with the video as the when the tempo increases the video seems to increase in speed and his condition gets worst. When the beat drops everything seems to quieten down or in the video he is driving smoking or picking up his drugs then it all changes when the bass drops.
