White Stripes - Seven Nation Army


  • The colours used establishes and perpetuate the identity of the band
  • White, red and black have become synonymous with the band, these images are iconic
  • Associated with their musicianship (ability to play musical instruments)
  • Clearly no narrative used in the music video, all performance
  • Close-ups of the band - convention of a music video
  • Extreme close-ups 
  • Rhythmic editing - music is in timing with the editing 
  • This video is more of a vehicle for the song
  • Series of images in the video makes it quite distracting 
  • Michel Gondry - Director
  • The video is famous because of it's uniqueness, it became viral
