Distopic locations in Gil Scott-Heron- "Me And The Devil"




I just uploaded this video as i like lots of the locations used as an inspiration to our thriller. Alothough this is a music video and not a thriler it uses many images of generic conventions such as distopic urban locations, criminal activity, the american flag(ironic linking to how tarantino ironicly represents american in his films.)

    Soelling of dystopia and capital letters need revising.

    To strengthen in a further post you could add a title : How Scott-Heron utilises thriller genre conventions in the Music Video, "Me and the Devil".

    Lighting
    Locations
    Camera angles
    Cultural signifiers - purpose

    Explain why thriller signifiers and what the poet is saying about the USA.

    "Dystopic" not Distopic would you please correct Jake and also add to this post as advised.
