Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait
This video is from an artist of a similar genre to our chosen artist, Ben Howard who is a folk/indie folk artist. Mumford & Sons are a folk rock band and so the video shares various similarities with Ben Howard’s videos such as focusing purely on the band and the audience among other things.
Key Points:
- Simplistic Video - Band and audience at concert
- Video focus almost entirely on band.
- Lights on band alternate between on and off throughout video. Similar to Ben Howard video, reflects current feelings of song.
- Unlike Ben Howard video the artists always appear well lit, only stage flickers.
- Audience for the most part well lit.
- All lights on same timing, if stage goes dark so does audience. Concert Style.
- Artists lined up, very clear.
- Darker side of face at some points of song, not as prominent as Ben Howard’s.
- Light pacing increases as song pace increases
- All lights on at end of song
- Relies heavily upon the lighting to add effect, otherwise a standard concern video.
