The video for under the bridge feature performance footage from the different band members. It doesn't feature any specific narrative but fits well with the song. The multiple layering effects have been used well showing multiple band members in different locations around Los Angeles on the same screen. This effect has also been used to good effect in some of last years coursework productions. 
The video features different members in parts of the city and also members playing in front of super imposed images. The song features Kiedis walking through the streets of LA, the camera focuses on various people. This, according to Kiedis, was vital; he felt the studio portion of the video alone would not convey enough emotion.
This video lead to led the nominations for the MTV music awards, which included the categories of "Best Video", "Best Group", and "Best Direction". We could defiantly apply the multiple layering techniques into our own coursework as it works to great effect as proved by previous years coursework entries. Also getting access to instruments and performance footage wouldn't be too much of a challenge as I'm in a band myself.
