Queens of the Stone Age - Go With The Flow
1. The video relates to the song title, notion of moving is represented in the truck driving, "Go With the Flow" video shows truck speeing through a desert and a truck. Dark, twisted element to video, linked to genre of 'stoner rock' (a sub genre of alternative)
2. The whole video used a unique visual style which has a camera technique where the characters, props are all black except for their eyes and the backdrop which is red. It is some form of animation, looks to be a cartoon like CGI. This gives a very dark/dangerous feel to the video which relates to the music. The setting is what looks like an American/barren land.
3. The band are represented wit a definite element of mystery as you cannot see their faces clearly and they look like shadows. It adds to their very slight meta-narrative, as their previous video 'No One Knows' shows them entering the truck at the end.
4. There is a degree of amplication, the screen seems to pulse with the beat, and the truck runs in time with the music.
5. There aren't really any references to popular culture.
6. It could definitely be considered art and is probably one of the most arty stylistic videos around. it presents a challenging idea by not letting you see the band but still having them in 'shadow' form.
7. Women represented sexually. A group of antagonists with skull masks drive into them. 9. Likely to be on something lkike MTV2 or Kerrang! focused viewing as it is a very good, interesting video.
