Jonathan Glazer


Today we looked at Jonathan Glazer. 
We looked at 5 adverts he has directed, two Guinness called 'Surfer' and 'Swim Black', two Stella called 'Whip Around' and 'Last Orders' and Levis called 'Odyssey'.
We then looked at two music videos, 'Virtual Insanity' by Jamiraqual and 'The Universal' by Blur. 

The story behind 'Surfer' is a group of surfers, waiting for the perfect wave. As it arrives, the crashing 'white horses' turn into real horses. In turn, each surfer 'crashes out', leaving only one, who manages to conquer the wave. The others join him on the shore to celebrate. I like this video because its dramatic. I found through watching all of his videos, he focus' around portraying serious videos, using dramatic background music. In this video he extends this effect more by using black and white.
