Visual Style and Image
Clothes wise the band usually wear jeans and ss tshirt. you would expect to see guitars, bass, drums, vocals because of the rock genre. We would also expect to hear synth, have lights and lasers because of the more pop/indie side of the genre of bloc party. There visual style is represented as being relaxed and chilled, they look as if they don't care about there look but someone will have put thought into the fashion. In Some videos, For Example in The Prayer they have quirky, conceptual editing.
But in One more chance they use camera shots like close-ups so we see the characters face and emotion
In the Video Flux they have taken the theme from the film Godzilla. They have big japanese monsters fighting, This is using other media texts in their videos.
They also featured in an episode of The Simpsons, This is an example of intertextuality, when a text makes deliberate references to other media texts by stealing bits of it.
