Protection

                             

The  music video 'Protection' appeared in 1994.This was when sets for music videos were self created and designed in real life, as there were no green screening at time. Despite this,Massive Attack were able create an illusion and fool the audience into thinking the building in the music video is real.
we're not able to tell that the building created is horizontal,and the camera is moving along.
As the camera is moving along at all times, we can tell that the video was filmed in a continuous shot.
This video contains both performance and concept.Also most of their music is either alternative hip pop,or experimental rock.

The little girl shown at the beginning of the music video is the protagonist, as she is shown various times in this video.This is a very unique video, therefore it is very difficult to compare this to any other videos.The mise en scene in this video shows a combination of both dull and bright colors.We see many different age groups, we see an elder lady in a wheelchair with lots of locks on her door. This denotes 'fear' and the need of protection which is the title of the song.We also see the protagonist afraid and abused... also seeking for protection.

Most of Massive Attack's music videos are based on editing for example; in the music video below... Editing is used in order to create the effects in this video,therefore i can conclude that editing plays the most important part in their work.Similar to the music video 'Protection' this music video contains performance and concept.
