Flair Selena Gomez plays various
characters all of which are feeling a
little frisky bad liar present a
meta-narrative placing Selena in typical
high school scenarios with her
doppelgangers always on her mind and
vice-versa
it’s one of Gomez’s more unique videos
demonstrating that she doesn’t take
herself too seriously and is willing to
rock a fake mustache from time to time
[Music]

number seven kill Jill big boy featuring
killer Mike and Jeezy hello so the photo
I already know you can always count on
big boy for unique music videos with
kale Jill he teams up with director
Brian barber for a majestic visual aided
by moody lighting and Eastern theme the
title itself pays homage to a Quentin
Tarantino classic and the camerawork and
set design established a similar mood
and atmosphere on the sample that’s what
I went after there we were shown a thick
stony wet they’re mounted well killer
Mike GZ and big boy we all get a chance
to flex in the video kill Jill is more
about the cinematic experience and the
visual poetry the video fuses big boys

number four secrets the weekend
[Music]
symmetrical and stylish this video
places heavy emphasis on directorial
form the weekend enlists petrol Martin
Calero for secrets a minimalistic
production that values designed over a
clear narrative that’s quite alright
as each image stands on its own with the
director utilizing shapes and a red and
white color palette to contrast the
great setting to conclude the visual

physical space as the weekend is
confronted with something much bigger
than himself from beginning to end
secret keeps the eye roaming with all
its Kubrick II and flare

number three run Foo Fighters
the Foo Fighters have a reputation for
making overtly comedic music videos
directed by Dave Grohl run begins slow
and escalates quickly as the grizzled
