Massive Attack and Radiohead comparison

"Burn the Witch" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 3 May 2016 as the lead single from their ninth studio album A Moon Shaped Pool (2016). Radiohead developed the song for over a decade. "Burn the Witch" was accompanied by a stop-motion animated music video that pays was meant t be the 1973 British horror film The Wicker Man. During this video you see the police man who has been lead into the fields by the villagers who later on gets killed by them the mayor urges the inspector to climb into the wicker man, whereupon he is locked inside as a human sacrifice and the wicker man is set on fire. As the flames gather, the townspeople turn their backs and wave goodbye to the camera. The idea of the video is to depict the idea of mobs and gangs and how they shouldn't be aloud because they are out of control and slightly 'mad' at times. This does a great job of saying certain generations cannot be reasoned with and that they are out of controlled. 

The massive attack stages their music video in a very different way from the way that Radiohead does they do this by All of the members of Massive Attack appearing in the music video, however they are not meant to recognise by someone who wasn't looking, as they are background people who fit into the setting of the music video. They're all being represented as normal people who have been brought up through street life, following the urban style and that they are no different to those who have also been brought up in the same environment and this shows that they clearly know what is happening in the streets still. The main singer, Shara Nelson, is filmed whilst she is walking down the streets which demonstrates everything that is going on in the scene with the use of a wide angle shot which can be used to make you see more than just her and it makes you focus on what is going on around her.
