My favorite videos that we watched in class were the M83 music videos. They were definitely very different from any type of music video I had seen before, but they were also sort of captivating in that way. I'm not exactly sure of the whole story behind the music videos, but it was obvious throughout them, that the children being portrayed were different than normal kids, they were special.
I kind of like to think of that as how artists are too, we are different from most people. We feel things differently than others, therefore we portray those feelings differently, often shown throughout our artwork. I think that the adult figures being portrayed throughout the video were afraid of the children, because they were different and they didn't necessarily know how to handle them. I think that also resonates with artists, because we are sometimes set apart from others, and maybe that is because those that are around us, are unsure how to accept our art, or don't quite read into our art the way that we wanted them too.
I don't know, that was just some of my thoughts on the music video in relation to the life of an artist.
