Micheal Gondry Research

Gondry '"I always hated pretentious commercials and videos before I started directing, not following the typical and saying that people are all fashion. It has always been my goal to make people feel alright when they watch my work."


This comment is well reflected in Gondry's music videos in which i have looked at. Firstly the 'White Stripes' video called 'Fell in love with a girl.' This video is done entirely in Lego which gives an amazing effect of the band and the narrative.

'Around the world' by Daft Punk is a series of dances by different group. It is performed on a particularly small stage making it more impressive and means the planning and choreographing had to be very detailed and elaborate.

It is obvious that the work of Micheal Gondry is an auteur because he focuses on making his videos clever and as asthetically plaeasing as possible with makes the video memerable to the audience making it open to repeatability.

Alex - you need more detail here - discuss specific textual examples from the video. How is the band represented? What is different from mainstream?
