Nero - Guilt


This is the opening shot to Nero's video for Guilt. It is very interesting due to the fact that the use of CGI and clever special effects helps portray and create a futuristic city which possibly resembles Hong Kong. Also the fact that the band name is shown on a screen portrays that the bad expects to still be known and popular in the future.


This shot is shown inside a strip club. This shows that in the future women are still seen as sex objects. Furthermore the use of bright strobe lights in red and purple create a sexy and calming atmosphere.


This close up shot of the Asian / oriental businessman is voyeuring the stripper and seems to be very important , possibly head of a triad gang or high class organisation. Furthermore the strip club seems to be very open and not that busy which may mean that this is a private club possibly owned by the businessman.


This is the most interesting shot in the entire music video as it completely changes the setting and storyline. As shown the stripper turns into some sort of monster or creature, which makes the audience think that there may be extra terrestrial life in the future. Furthermore the girl / monster attacks the businessman which suggests she has had enough of him sexual viewing her. 


This final shot is attention-grabbing as the name of the song "Guilt" is cleverly shown as the name of the club at the end of the video. This could also tie in with the fact that the stripper may feel guilty about her profession or the fact that she is a monster.
