Director Study - Nabil Elderkin - Frank Ocean - Novacane

I like how the camera pans very slowly until it reaches Frank while he sits on the bed singing. I like the subtle effects in the background and the mirror (also us watching him in the mirror is very voyeuristic) but I love how dominant these effects become when he starts applying the Novocain to his face. I also like that the effects (or hallucinations?) sometimes relate to the lyrics, for example when he mentions sex ("F**k me good, F**k me long, F**k me numb") women appear in the background. I also like the style of this video, the way everything seems to have a green tint and looks quite retro.
