Electro House E.g. 7: Magnetic Man - Getting Nowhere

Track: Getting Nowhere
Artist: Magnetic Man ft. John Legend

Director: Diamond Dogs
Year Released: 2011



  • There is only narrative in this video which is a modern interpretation of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
  • The main characters are BMXers and it follows them riding around which is similar to our idea.
  • It is set in the more urban areas of London.
  • Narrative enigma is created by having the horseman and bikers faces blacked out throughout.
  • There are some slow motion shots of the bikers doing tricks.
  • There are close up cutaway shot of things such as xbox controllers.
  • The four bikers will each be shown standing in a certain place while the rest of the scene is normal (e.g. 0:53-0:56).
  • There is a slight blue colour cast.
  • SFX are used quite a lot in the video. The BMXers faces are blacked out, a woman has only white eyes, black spots fly at the camera (1:06-1:09) etc.
