Alex Day



This music video is Alex Day’s “She Walks Right Through Me”. I like this video for so many teenage girl obsession type reasons.  Firstly it is the Goodwin link between the lyrics and the visuals. On a normal music video with this song any director would have disregarded the literal lyrics and chosen something more symbolic. Whereas in this video everything is literal. Secondly the styling, everything is portrayed as dark and dingy as well as depressing. But then the situation changes with the same dark and dingy aspects to create a whole new situation. A good example would be Tim Burton’s new film Frankenweenie where the dog dies and is brought back to life. The film is black and white to add to the creepy nature of the film and the same can be said for this video. The black and white is there to add to the creepiness of the situation.
