At Advanced Portfolio: Artist Research - Post Two: Visual Style and Image

Visuals within music some of 'Bloc Party's videos (such as 'Hunting For Witches', and 'Two More Years') set the band in a dark and isolated room. This could be to draw focus onto the band and have them stand out. It also could be to create the atmosphere of isolation, which is a subject often related to in the lyrics of some of their songs.    'Bloc Party' often uses conceptual imagery and unique camera work to create an outstanding image for themselves. Like in 'Hunting For Witches' where fast panning shots are used in time with the lyrics, creating exciting shots to atonish viewers.



The track ' Hunting For Witches' lyrics were influenced by the 9/11 attacks and how much control the media has over modern society.
