Music Video reasoning

Here is the summary of our reasoning behind our video

After watching Muse live at Wembley back in September 11th 2010 we decided to make a video for them. We based it on their most recent album Resistance. We decided to use the 8th song on the album which is Mk Ultra. When we saw Muse live there was a strong feel of conspiracy and government control in their songs and their lyrics reflect this. At the beginning of the gig Muse were introduced with a riot which were meant to represent the G20 which took place in London a couple of years back, This introduction goes with the first song on the album which is Uprising however, we really liked the idea of the riot and decided to try and use the strong feel and exhilarating tension it created into our music video idea. The whole Mk Ultra background meaning is that of the American research and developing mind altering/controlling drugs back during late world war 2 we are going to try and represent this background story into a more modern situation,
From this we fashioned the idea of a rebellion against this drug, with the band leading the revolt.
In Muse’s music videos they rarely stay in one place so we decided to move the band footage outside when the narrative story went outside and stay inside when the story is revolves around being inside.
