Sophie Muller has been directing music videos since 1982 and has worked with such artists as The Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Eurythmics, No Doubt and Blur.
Examples:
The Cure: The 13th
Blur: Beetlebum
Coldplay: Trouble
Sugababes: Freak Like Me
Dido: Life For Rent
The Killers: Mr Brightside
Visual Motifs:
Muller often works with the concept of a singer or band in a dark and isolated room
Blur: Beetlebum
As you can see in this video, the majority of the video is set in one room with focus on the band using close ups in a performance based style. There is not much diversion from the band, and there isn't much of a concept other than this. The simplicity works in giving the band complete focus and playing on the attractiveness of the lead singer. In the comments on youtube, this point is made a number of times.
