Music Videos Directed that I like by Muller: 







Sophie Mullers style, what I find impressive and why...
I love the use of colors that Sophie Muller uses in these videos, the locations and the type of genre. I find Muller directs the song and music well with the story using her style which I find there is meaning  and in these videos in particular she directs very well, getting the story across to the audience.

Music Videos Directed that I like by Anthony Mandler: 






Anthony Mandler's style, what I find impressive and why...

Anthony Mandler is very impressive with what he portrays in these videos, his style tells a story in a unique way that shows off the song and the artist. These two particular music videos both come across as a short film, which I find impressive to do with in just under 6 minuets.
