Music Video Influences - The 1975

In my research for my groups media music video, I have started looking at music videos put out by a particular band. This blog post will be looking at the music videos of the Manchester-based indie rock band "The 1975". The band consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums) and Ross MacDonald (bass guitar).  The band have released several music videos of singles from their self-titled debut album - with the music videos I'll be focusing on here being "Chocolate", "The City", "Girls", and "Robbers".
Until recently, the music videos released by The 1975 were very performance-based (although featuring little traces of narrative, it is predominantly performance) and filmed in black-and-white, with examples including "Chocolate" and "The City".
However, with the release of their music video for "Girls", whilst the video is still very much performance-based, the video is filmed in colour for the majority of the video, with the group even commenting that the video should be shot in black-and-white at the start of the video, in a sly reference to their other music videos.
With the release of the music video for "Robbers", the video is filmed entirely in black-and-white and features no performance at all, showcasing a narrative-driven video. The video features band frontman Matt Healy playing one half of a destructive couple who are dangerously in love and rob a shop to get money to fund their addictions to drug and alcohol addictions, which goes terribly wrong.
