Men at Works' Down Under was a succesful song during the 1980s and is often on 80s CD compilations. The video is rather narrative based which links to the lyrics. The start of the video which focuses on a Volkswagen Camper driving through the outback links very nicely to the title 'Down Under' which is the slang term for Australia. The only performance part comes when one of the band members plays a flute along to the riff in the song. The points which draw the audience in is the deliberate use of stereotypical humour associated with Australia like Vegemite. Personally the editing used in the video is simply panning and cuts to the next scenes. However the camera angles are better where there are many establishing shots to show the setting. Similarly to Down Under, our video will include establishing shots to create a certain mood in our emotional song. Personally I think this video works very well because it can create humour to entertain the audience and the narrative links to the video.
