Introduction

I’ve debated starting this theme for a few weeks, and I ultimately decided I would as it would encourage me to looks for options that actually fit what I’m aiming for. If one pays too much attention to Top 40 type music you tend to see a dearth of creativity in the music video form. The music video is spawned from short films and can be as creative if not more so than their predecessor. Far too often it does just become singing heads. I want to try and buck that trend and find ones both new and old that do something somewhat outside the box, at the very least have some sort of visual narrative. Here we go.

30 Minute Break by The Luka State

This is another great one that puts its narrative, a portrait of a couple in crisis, from and center and does not offer facile closure but leaves the par at a crossroads. It also features a great performance by actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
