Massive Attack - Angel

Massive attack's video for angel is clips from a film from the film "Vampyr" from 1932. The video is clearly based on the film so it is also based on death and vampires.
The first time i watched this video i wasnt sure what was happening, well to be honest im still not sure but i think, that the man in the coffin is a vampire and they are burrying him to get rid of him and it is from his perspective and like a fly on the wall perspective. When looking from his point of view you are seeing what he can see out of the coffin, like watching the sky and the trees go by. At the end of the video you see a grave being opend and a man hammering a long metal pole into the body in the coffin, however i do not think the body in that coffin is the "vampire".

The song is steady and relaxing, i think this goes well with the video because it is almost like the music is playing inside the "vampire"s head, he is waiting to be burried. This links to my story board for stretched on your grave because that is also about death and graves. I could possibly do somthing like they have, the point of view from the burried persons grave.
