Placebo - Follow The Cops Back Home. From the album "Meds" released in 2006.
This is a fan made video of the 5th track from the album "Meds" by Placebo. This fan made a minimallist video, comprised of on two different camera angles and extreme slow motion.
A man is sitting alone, semi-dressed in an arm chair with a 90's television on standby infront of him. The television explodes and a toy police car lauches out towards his head. He reacts by falling backwards off the chair. The mise-en-scene is minimalist as it is set faceing a single grey wall with no pictures or any other detail.
The planning may have taken a while, however the filming would only last about 3 or 4 seconds. The editing would also be simple as each cut lasts about 40-50 seconds. Despite it's simplicity, the graphics and details are of such a high quality that it enables a brilliant picture and an interesting music video to be developed.
I would like to develop my own version or technique to do similar filming in our groups music video, in the future.
