The Courteeners return with the thrilling final instalment of their&nbsp;Better trilogy, directed&nbsp;by Joe Connor.&nbsp;Written by&nbsp;novelist&nbsp;Emma Jane Unsworth as a short film and split across three videos,&nbsp;the final segment focusses on main protagonist Lauren,&nbsp;who has an out of body experience as a handful of surgeons operate on her. Vivid hallucinations fill the screen as her chest opens up into a black hole, and the further she delves into her&nbsp;labyrinthian mind, the weirder her experience&nbsp;becomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Haunting and surreal, the visual ends where <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8KWL4Mj1o4&amp;list=RDhe2zwSwTrK0&amp;index=2" target="_blank">the first video for Heavy Jacket</a> started, suggesting a variety of possible explanations, from a full-on drug trip to some kind of purgatory.&nbsp;The trilogy's consistent strand,&nbsp;tying together the three segments, is the band performance set-up, once again taking place in front of a retro-futuristic window in a club environment - full of energy and with a knockout performance from Corteeners' frontman Liam Fray.&nbsp;

Five suburban oldies get their juices flowing with some serious&nbsp;power walking exercise,&nbsp;in Yonatan Weisberg&#39;s video for&nbsp;Patrolla&#39;s rerub of the Adamski/Seal classic Killer - who also created the animated elements that add a visual flourish to the live action.It&#39;s all going swimmingly until the group&#39;s feisty&nbsp;leader appears to be claimed by the Killer track, releasing her ghostly self...&nbsp;

Patrolla, Adamski ft Seal 'Killer (Rerub)' by Yonatan Weisberg

Patrolla, Adamski - Killer (Rerub) ft. Seal

Yonatan Weisberg has delivered this well-executed performance piece with added dramatic and visual&nbsp;flair for&nbsp;Don Broco&#39;s Nerve, which sees the band performing on a circular platform while cutting back and forth between&nbsp;scenes of tension and destruction.&nbsp;As the camera captures the scene on the circular track, we witness a&nbsp;tree being engulfed by flames, a sculpture crumbling&nbsp;to the ground and a bull trying&nbsp;to free himself from the ropes that hold him captive. Intense stuff.

Don Broco 'Nerve' by Yonatan Weisberg

Courtney Barnett&#39;s appearance&nbsp;in London during her tour provided an excellent opportunity for Jon White to capture this pop-up performance outside Camden Town tube station on August 17th 2015, for her track&nbsp;Nobody Really Cares If You Don&#39;t Go To The Party.With four camera operators on crew, White&nbsp;definitely got his&nbsp;bases covered in terms of varied viewpoints on the whole affair, giving editor Katie Walters lots of&nbsp;footage to choose from&nbsp;for a rythmic edit to follow the track. So high fives all round that this has been turned around and released in a matter of days.

Sing J Lee explores the boundary between love and lust in a set of intriguing scenarios set in an apartment block, in his video for&nbsp;Years &amp; Years&#39; very catchy Desire.But the real focus of the video is&nbsp;the band&#39;s charismatic frontman Olly Alexander, who plays both struggling writer&nbsp;in an apartment block&nbsp;and performs with the band. Perhaps not surprisingly, as Olly is also an actor, who&#39;s appeared in Misfits, the movie The Riot Club and upcoming musical feature God Help The Girl, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch of Belle &amp; Sebastian.

Charlie XCX&#39;s hugely catchy&nbsp;Boom Clap&nbsp;is taken&nbsp;from a movie that looks like being a massive hit this summer,&nbsp;The Fault In Our Stars,&nbsp;adapted from the successful young adult novel by John Green. And&nbsp;Sing J Lee&#39;s video seamlessly connects Charlie&#39;s performance in Amsterdam with a crucial section of the movie, when the fireworks&nbsp;start going off&nbsp;for&nbsp;Hazel and Augustus, the&nbsp;movie&#39;s main characters.

Suitably for Paul Weller&#39;s new song Brand New Toy, director Joe Connor found inspiration from his favourite childhood toy&nbsp;to frame Paul and his band&#39;s performance.The result is a real viewing pleasure - and not just because Joe went for the kaleidoscope effect. It&#39;s immediately clear&nbsp;that this is not down to digital trickery, but some old school art and craft. As Joe explains below, for the likes of Paul Weller, only a real kaleidoscope would do.So they made a&nbsp;very big one, and did it all in-camera...
