Intertexuality

I think it's important to look at other videos by the artist we are covering to get inspiration. I know we are not copying them, but I think when looking at videos from The Smiths, we can see what style of music/video they use, and what we should aim to be like. 

I looked at this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naos7it_bl0 for inspiration.

Looking back at the video, there are a lot of cliches to an 'indie' genre music video now, however when it was directed, they were not so cliche. For example the fish eye camera effect used so comonly throughout this video.
