'Babel' Is a song written and performed by British folk rock band 'Mumford and Sons'. Released as part of their second studio album of the same name. The reason that I have chosen this particular song to study was because it matched the genre of the song that we are making a video for. For this reason it made sense to look at the music video for babel and see what conventions are present and analyse some of the techniques used.
This is a link to the original music video for Babel
The video shows the band performing in a derelict train station. The first noticeable thing about this video is that it is shot in black and white. This has a lot of effects on how the video, such as how it makes the whole thing seem colder and darker. The band feel more isolated and somber due to the lack of colour, the video also feels more old fashioned because of this.
I like main thing that I will take from this video is how colour pallet can really affect the tone and feeling of a video. Darker, more muted tones create a feeling of loneliness and isolation. This is the feeling that we want to achieve so I will definitely use this knowledge during filming and post production.
