Kasabian - "L.S.F."



Kasabian - L.S.F.

The video is an example of illustration, as it shows a straightforward performance with some additional narrative, which is very simple. The genre characteristics displayed show a womens prison, which suggests that these are violent and stereotypically "butch" women.

When lead singer, Tom Meighan, says "we've got our backs to the wall", there is an shot shooing women with their backs up against the wall, which shows that their is some links between the lyrics and the visuals.

There are some close up shots of all of the members in the band, as well as some shots of the women in the prison. There is a contrast between some of the prisoners, as some are wearing quite revealing outfits and are seen through the "male gaze" whereas others are stereotypical prisoners, with tattoos and looking quite muscular.
