And another


Laura Marling - Rambling Man

Another idea my group came up with was to have some kind of story line for the video. We thought it could make the video more interesting to watch if there was something else going on other than just the band performing; we thought it would give the audience something to think about.

I chose this video as an inspirational text as I believe it does not only show how a story line can work well in a video, but it also shows how simplicity, in terms of editing, can also be a good thing in music videos.

Throughout the video, there are many extreme close-ups used and at times a slow motion effect can be spotted. However, when it comes to the transitions from one clip to another, it is often a plain and simple straight cut. Often when watching music videos you can get many 'fades', 'dissolves' or 'wipes' to cut from one clip to another which I sometimes think looks a little 'too much'. With the genre of music and the style of the video we are going for, I think simple could be best.
