Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy Analysis

The music video is a narrative because the lyrics are telling a story. The video is one single tracking shot, at the beginning the camera shows a close up of two steel balls in hands of someone in leather gloves. The camera then moves on to showing a gang with a dog wearing sunglasses who look quite rough, as well as the boy next who is shown with a toy gun, which may foreshadow him when he is older, possibly with a real gun.
The setting is an urban area which does not look particularly expensive, it seems quite rough and not taken care of, there is a lot of litter on the street and items dumped outside shops for example; the babies cot. On the streets there is homeless people, and people walking past, one of which who is on a skateboard because he has no legs.

The lighting is natural which represents the realism of street life.
