Brock Neal Roberts's new video for Sam Fender - his second for the South Shields singer-songwriter, after last year's&nbsp;MVA-nominated&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Seventeen Going Under - elevates an everyday story of teenage friendship&nbsp;with a clever visual device.&nbsp;In the video for Getting Started, we see four friends work their way down their tower block, picking each other up on the way as they prepare to head for a night out. And each stage is mainly presented as a three dimensional photo, the camera tracking through the boys as they are caught static,&nbsp;in the moment.[imgtoken data:1]Brock has mainly used&nbsp;in-camera effects to create this sense of hyperreality, with the young actors freezing their bodies in a physical way&nbsp;rather than achieving the effect in post-production - identical twins were used to play the same characters, to bring the complex blocking to life.&nbsp; Imaginative art direction assists to make this work, such as the spray of a deodorant can and smoke from a cigarette created with cotton wool.Sam Fender's performance&nbsp;is the final piece of the jigsaw, walking through the same night-time streets, the unseen narrator of the boys' lives. In the Director's Cut we are featuring here, he is slightly more incidental to the action than&nbsp;in the official release. Ultimately, it is a charming and positive representation of youth and young male friendship.[imgtoken data:2]

Duncan Loudon imagines the life of a stuntman in his remarkable video for DJ/producer Tourist.Loudon takes us on to a film set, and into the world of stuntman-supreme Andy Bennett, as he goes about his daily business - and at the same time, also childminds his young daughter. And it all leads up to one of the most terrifyingly impressive of all movie stunts, when Bennett is doused in petrol and set alight, and then becomes a walking man on fire.Loudon establishes a mesmeric tone with a combination of documentary and impressionistic teasing beyond the frame of reality. Bennett also plays the part of the leading actor that he is doing stunts for. The division between the two is not easily distinguishable.But then there is of course the setpiece stunt. It is unmistakeably&nbsp;authentic,&nbsp;and Loudon takes us right into this feat of technique and sheer courage - and makes it poetic.&nbsp;Brilliantly achieved.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]

Loyle Carner tells his life story in one take in the impressive video for Yesterday, directed by The Coyle-Larner Brothers - Ben Coyle-Larner, aka Loyle Carner, and his brother Ryan.&nbsp;The video presents a touching coming-of-age story that comes full circle, all in one continuous take. We see the baby become a music-obsessed boy, an increasingly digruntled youth - as he grows to understand the world around him - becoming creative and learning&nbsp;to speak out against political and social discrimination. Then he starts making music, and finally becomes the man holding the baby.The beauty of the piece is how each element of the video works as it own world, even as the transitions occur seamlessly&nbsp;within a single Steadicam shot. It's ambitious and has been executed to perfection - and for that, Ben and Ryan engaged with the rapper's first love of theatre. They enlisted crew members from the West End, National Theatre and the stage team of Hamilton to bring their vision to life, to devise some ingenious set movements within a small space and a short amount of time.The fact that the Loyle Carner Brothers&nbsp;have come up with such a strikingly&nbsp;accomplished video, exploring the creative&nbsp;connections between music video to musical theatre&nbsp;to make serious message,&nbsp;augurs very well for their future career as directors.

Paul Mescal makes an emotional call to his girlfriend at the beginning of the video for The Rolling Stones' Scarlet, directed by Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor - aka Us.&nbsp;So far, so Normal People.&nbsp;But then we notice that Mescal is living in the lap of luxury. In fact he has the run of Claridge's Hotel, no less.&nbsp;After leaving a half-drunken love note to his girlfriend, Mescal&nbsp;(the sensitive Connell&nbsp;in TV hit&nbsp;Normal People) spins this previously unreleased track from The Stones' early '70s&nbsp;album&nbsp;Goat's Head Soup,&nbsp;proceeds to drink his body weight in whiskey, dance cheesily in the mirror, have an emotional breakdown and trash the hotel room.&nbsp;And then he heads down to the hotel lobby - which is even grander than the one in that other famous deserted hotel video, Weapon Of Choice.&nbsp;The video was made under social distancing guidelines, and clearly it could not have happened at any other time - and probably for no other band in the world. It's certainly a treat for the growing legion of the Mescal fans - and for fans of Barrett and Taylor too.

Warren Fu serves up a rapid-fire visual feast for his third collaboration with The 1975 -&nbsp;a video with a nü-metal edge, and frontman Matty Healy rocking Marilyn Manson-esque long hair.The band performs in a box featuring flashing lights, words and images that shift from wall to wall as the camera moves chaotically around them. At one point, Healy has a bomb strapped to his chest that he sets off, and that explodes into more digital images.

Hannah Marshall directs a powerful new music video for Iranian artist Gola, using the film as a&nbsp;rallying call to anyone that has ever defied those who have told them &#39;no&#39;.&nbsp;Gola had to leave her homeland in order to pursue a career in music, having been a member of&nbsp;Orchid, Iran&rsquo;s first girl group, who were banned from releasing music and whose female-only concerts were heavily patroled by morality police, so attendees were not permitted to dance or sing along. Now&nbsp;Gola uses her voice to bring awareness to Iran and the power of women in her country.&nbsp;And Marshall says her&nbsp;visual concept was&nbsp;conceived &ldquo;as an ode to female potency and empowerment. This individual and collective striving is central to the structure of the video.&quot;&nbsp;She adds: &quot;I focused on three zones of the body, each corresponding to a different form of communication: eyes (the gaze), mouth (the voice), and hands (the touch). The clothing both impresses upon and provides gateways of expression for the body. The lived experiences of women are complex and the debates around their bodies often highly charged and politicised. Through the ritual of covering up and concealing what lies beneath, the intention is to present the hijab and veil as a self-contained source of power, an armour-like second skin that is loaded with life force and freedom.&rdquo; &bull;<a href="https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/xwjq8j/gola-iranian-artist-the-line" target="_blank"> i-D</a>: Hannah Marshall on her Gola video&nbsp;
