After todays meeting I have thought more of one of the idea's and have tried to elaborate upon it a bit more. This is extremely rough and is by no means the final idea by it makes the 'vision' I had clearer.
First of all the track itself has a collection of soundbites from a mock trailer for 'Machete', in the film 'Grindhouse' (Rodrigues and Tarantino, 2006). Therefore seeing how the track begins, we could start it like a 1970's exploitation trailer with a character very much like 'Shaft', a 1970's no nonsense cop with attitude (i.e. really playing upon stereotype). This could be shot with an extremely grainy effect, and literally show what the voiceover describes. Slowly the camera zooms out of the trailer, which we now see is being watched on a TV, then...

(Shaft Opening)
...The main character of the trailer looks at the person watching the trailer, in a non realistic manner, as if he has just realised he is being watched. He then walks through the screen (don't ask me how this will be acheived as I haven't researched it yet), and is brought into the real world.
The rest of the music video would then follow what happens next with this character and the clear clash of times and cultures. I thought this could be played out comically and the 'Film Character' could somewhat be similar to MR T.
