10 Music Videos That Were Actually Made By Famous Directors

8. David Fincher - Janie's Got A Gun (Aerosmith)

Fincher's cinematic career has been abundant. He's the man behind Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network and Gone Girl, and also directed two episodes of Netflix's series House Of Cards. But making genre-defining films is not how he started. In fact, he was making music videos for almost ten years before he was given the opportunity to direct his first feature, Alien 3. By then he had directed over fifty music videos for artists including Foreigner, Sting, Madonna, Billy Idol, The Rolling Stones and Nine Inch Nails. One of Fincher's most well-known music videos is for the song Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith. Like previous entries on this list, the director's iconic traits shine through, manifesting in a brooding crime noir narrative with dark, striking images and constant low lighting. The story plays out alongside shots of the band passionately performing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqQn2ADZE1A
