Jake Erland directs an intense promo for Beabadoobee, taking her message straight into a constantly moving camera. The video for Sun Has Set is presented in a frantic POV perspective, the camera being the person in a relentless conversation with Bea. In fact, she is so forceful, that the POV is always trying to take evasive action, even leaping from a motel balcony, taking refuge in a car (while she smashes the windscreen) and running away to open countryside when she storms out of a police car for another confrontation.It's a cool way to visualise the rollercoaster emotions of a relationship through action-packed, horror-tinged vignettes. Bea is great in this, radiating charisma as she goes on the warpath - and camera operator Austin Phillips does a sterling job, with Erland also acting as DoP - in a concept that pushes the right buttons: inspired, gripping and nostalgic.
