Inspirational Texts...


For one of my first inspirational texts, i have chosen to decompose Laura Marlings video for Devils Spoke. This video in particular is how i would like to make my video similar to.
 The sepia/grainy tone to the video gives it a sort of vintage look which is the look that we want to portray in our video. I feel this really fits in with the folk style of music. The setting of the video is mainly set in fields in a countryside which is where we want to film the majority of our video. The first shot of the sun across the field in the video is very striking and sets the scene for the whole video, i think this is a really good idea as it gives the audience an idea of the location. Close ups are used of Laura's face, this is very intimate and natural. I like how she isn't wearing much make up, it gives the video a natural look. The video is very cultural and shows a lot of shots of the location in the country. In the video we see a shot of some stones and a shot of Laura's face has been faded into it, i think this is a really good idea and would like to attempt to incorporate it into our video.
In the video there are  alot of jumps between shots of day and night as the music quickens tempo. This really compliments the rhythm of the music. I feel the simplicity of the transitions really go with the style of music featured in the video. There are alot of shots of all the different instruments used throughout the video. I feel this video has given us a lot of ideas to work with on our video.
