Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly



I really love this music video because it's one of the funniest I've seen! I love how the band members have played nearly all the characters in the video and how they have combined performance with narrative (you can see them performing on the TV screen on the plane).
The theme of the video is instantly recognisable, as the costume and mise-en-scene show that it is possibly set on a plane journey from the 80s or 90s. The uniform of the stewards, stewardesses and the pilots also show that we are in an American setting.
The shots are incredibly simple, and there is a lack of special effects as the director wants the audience to concentrate on the video, artists and narrative, rather than distracting us with special effects.
I also love the cameo from Jack Black and Kyle Gass, as it shows the band's connection with other bands (Tenacious D) and also their connections with the film industry.
