Low Lows & Ceremonies
Director: Farai Dube
Year: 2023
A cinematic music video for independent musician Kēynes, This high-concept music video reflects the beautiful mess that life is – a narrative rumination about the highs and lows of love lost, in a vibrant, fun but meaningful way.<br /> Misdirection is introduced about what it is we’re seeing – romance, intimacy and stoic confidence colour the narrative, using different techniques (a very intentional colour palette, match cuts, quick cuts, vignettes, non-linear and meta-narrative) to tell a story drenched in symbolism (smoke and fire feature throughout) forced perspective and an approach to pop music videos that entertains (as all pop music videos should) but stays true to the tropes of European cinema in a fresh modern way whilst paying tribute to the vernacular of classic romances.
