Claude Levi-Strauss Theorist

Levi-Strauss theory is quite difficult to apply to our music video, as we don't use binary opposites. The only one I'd say that we use is light and dark between the different locations that we had used, for example, the scenes from the gig are extremely dark, while the scenes from the pub are extremely bright.

In the story of Asdiwal, Levi-Strauss said that each oppositional pair is composed by one real characteristic and one imaginary characteristic in the Timshian society. In other words these opposites don't exist in reality. You could apply this to our music video because at the end he wakes up in the pub, which could be seen as his mind playing tricks on him, and nothing that was seen in the music video has actually happened.
