Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I&list=RDa01QQZyl-_I&start_radio=1
The use of intertextuality within the first section of the video, allows the demographic to feel like they further understand and relate to the video as they understand social contexts.There are jump cut from the chaos of working life to the surreal and mystical aspects of the supernatural. for example the clip of Nosferatu; a symphony of horror, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Throughout the video the camera angles jump around from mid shots, to low and high angles which could further emphasise the chaos within society. The rapid splicing of clips mirrors societal pressures and anxiety through the clips of buildings and structures collapsing people rushing around and explosions, additionally the use of the zeitgeist, and social context is focused on by the images of the Wall Street collapse, shown I'm clips of unemployment and poverty, but this is contrasted with positive moments within community struggle, concerts and romantic moments between couples.
