3. Camera Shots The majority of the

Although very simple,
we think it looks very

each shot.

I think that the genre of the music Final shot -

makes sense that the editing style away again
and pace should be natural and
consistent rather than all over

mood of the song. As our video is
folky/indie, we will be following this
rule.
This creates a sense of structure to the
story she is telling us and adds slight
narrative to a non-narrative video.

5. Why this video is influential
This video is an example of the sort of look we want to
achieve in our own work.
We admire Lucy Rose's folky style and as our song is of a
similar genre we hope to include some things from her
video into ours, such as different wintery jumpers and
other outfits.
We also like the lack of narrative as it is not needed to
make this video interesting. Although our video has a
slight narrative we have kept it pretty basic and open to
interpretation of the viewers which is similar to how Lucy
Rose presents her videos, she allows viewers to consider
their own opinions and meanings from her music videos.
We appreciate her non-commercial style and understated
look. Many music videos today, especially in mainstream
music, focus on making the artist stand out as much as
possible by using over the top outfits and makeup or
props, however with this genre and style of music
simplicity is often the best option rather than trying too
hard.
