The Avalanches - 'Fronteir Psychology' Analysis of Video/Music Relationship


This still shows the conventions of the genre of the music as it is in a DJ mash-up style and this is reflected with lots of characters from different time periods and different cultures.


The lyric here is "Dexter is Criminally insane".
This is the last spoken part before the song begins and could be an explanation of why the video is so abstract as we are looking at it from Dexter's perspective







This image sticks with the surrealism of the piece but shows the genre with a 'DJ' remixing a vinyl track


This image is reflective of the lyric as it is "you're crazy as a coconut" with the coconut saying it which is 'crazy' in its self.










Music:

There are horse noise sound effects synced with a shot of a woman hitting a horse with a stick. This will entertain the audience and set a comical and not-very-serious fee; to the video.

There are "tundra/avalanche" sound effects synced with a shot of a t.v playing and avalanche as well as lyrics stating that there is an avalanche, this will be used to keep the audience guessing about its significants and therefore engaging them to watch on.
C-U:

The use of Close-up's breaks the conventions band CU's and instead shows obscure props. This might be to demon-straight how unstable the video of a "Frontier Psychiatrist" the fact that the song title and lyrics give reference to Psychiatry might mean that these shots are used to create an unstable world abit like the mind frame of a person that a psychiatrist might need to help.
