The typical visual elements that we see in Sex Pistols video that represent the band are through costume or fashion that the band are wearing. We often see them wearing clothes that show representations of the punk music genre. Seen in the picture below.
Every so often in some video’s such as Anarchy In The UK we see shots of a lively crowd from a live performance that they have recorded. An example of this is in the second screenshot.
The Sex Pistols maintained a rebellious image throughout their career; we see this through a lack of respect for authority. In the video for God Save the Queen we see shots of fire, riots and policemen.
The Sex Pistols use basic editing skills; this may be because of the time in which it was produced in where technology wasn’t as advanced as todays editing techniques. Instead I feel they get their messages across through what is in frame and on the camera.
I feel that the music made by the band related to the political climate of the time and that is shown through their videos through rebellion against authority, similar to the point above. They also use the queen in a lot of their logo’s and videos, portraying the bands beliefs. Post by Ryan Oldham
