Inspirational Video- Mumford and Sons "Little Lion Man"

 When looking at this video, we really enjoyed the lighting that was used to create certain moods and focus in on certain areas of the shot. The angle of the shot used on the left is interesting and offers a different feeling for the audience than a straight on shot would. The use of shadows in the screenshot below creates a moody atmosphere and looks incredibly professional.

This is the first shot where the band is seen in a full shot. The lighting is once again very effectively used, creating shadows but also highlighting the band themselves. Fairy lights around the stage help to create a feeling of night time and also magic, as well as the simplicity the band has.
We belived the shot of the piano offered something different to a straight forward close up of an instrument, as the angle is slightly distorted. The lack of identity from the musician (only being able to see his hands) also adds to the shot and its overall effectiveness; offering something different to a straightforward shot.
This particular image on the left is a shot we greatly wish to incorporate into our own music video. The lack of people or things in the foreground offers feelings of loneliness, which is greatly reflected in our song choice. Towards the end of the video however we will repeat the shot, but with his lover stood in view.
