Unfinished Symphony
https://youtu.be/ZWmrfgj0MZI
The single Unfinished Symphony was a song produced and released by the music group Massive attack. The music video for Unfinished Symphony was released as the second single from the first studio album blue lines on the 11th February 1991.
The narrative presented showcases a women strolling through the streets of downtown LA as the entirety of the video is a continuous tracking shot following the women as she paces through poverty of the American citizens. Using Steadicam the music video begins featuring a gang of rough thugs presented wearing leather jackets, white low cut vests, bandanas and also sporting a stereotypically violent breed of dog to we then pan out to a youth playing with a gun. This mise en scene This is very typical in the American urban district. children are raised through violence and danger. until we zoom to Nelson (the main women) strolling down the path pavement unaware or uncaring of her surroundings presenting drunks, poor disabled living in poverty and bikers. As she appears to be unknowingly seeing the poverty us as the audience are led to understand that the morale is even though we may be unaware of poverty it does still exist and if we look close enough its not transparent. as the main focus is on the women in the backdrop the setting is quite partially blurred showing poverty is sometimes difficult to see.
The off set is a typical American urban area and with research LA, California. The streets appear dusty and old with poor blocked building along a stretch of attached houses. people are seen selling their goods and working whilst others just sit along the side even homeless or unemployed. The main focus is upon the disabled man with unseen treatment or support using a skateboard as transport. By not affording health care this shows just a glimpse of poverty in a lot of areas. From the backdrops clothes to their actions we can clearly see this community isn't wealthy but exists through it wanting to be.
the camera then pans around her side to show her walking away as she moves down a different street. this shows her leaving the scene as she accomplished her propound aimed to get the message across and as she does its time that she leaves to keep the audience thinking of what they've just watched.
