Unsteady - x ambassadors



As an example of a narrative video I chose Unsteady by the X Ambassadors, as I thought it showed an unusual narrative. Told half through flashbacks, the story is of a failing relationship, with an presumably alcoholic father and flashbacks showing the beginnings of the relationship, when things like adding alcohol to coffee was illicit, rather than a warning sign. These parallels have interesting cut shots with whispering in the ear turning from sensual to angry and the pouring alcohol, facing from the past to the present.  The video ends on a cliff hanger and the audience is unsure of what is going to the couple.
