wasted and mango tree

Music videos are often refused to notice and are not taken into account as a form of art. However, most of the music videos are much more than straightforward shoots of musicians and have actual subject matter that enlightens and explains songs or at least gives an alternative vision presented by video producer. Having visual forms that make you think and feel, music videos misrepresent, twist and reproduce reality. They embellish, reflect and affect our perception and culture casually entertaining the audience and communicating messages about everything from sexuality and relationships to more global issues.

These are Angus and Julia Stone’s music videos “Mango tree” and “Wasted”. Although the content of the songs is quite different (as Julia’s song represents her as a young woman in love trying to sort out her relationships and Angus’s song appears to develop from a different perspective and demonstrates his personal perception of what is around him) both videos are similar in a way that they both communicate love and friendship, they are sincere, warm and organic videos that reveal experiences and thoughts, opinions and visions. The gold light and out of focus effect illustrate an idea of something figurative that is outside literal manifestation and clear differentiation from the actual and apparent. The strong accent is made on life and unity with nature through illustrated flowing organic forms.
Together these videos are outstandingly touching, personal and emotional sketches that instantly pull audience into creative, interesting and unusual perception of the world created by Angus and Julia Stone.
