I wanted to begin by analysing one of my all favourite music videos. The creation
of beautiful cinematography and subtle story telling is something we hope to
incorporate into our own music video. Bon Ivers video for ‘Holocene’ follows the
story of a boy exploring different parts of the world and seeking adventure. Not
only are the visual aspects incredible but the messages of exploration and
adventure is really interesting. Also by starring a child it opens up the message of
childhood and how children are far more carefree and they seek adventure
something we as people should perhaps do more of.
The video starts off in a
cottage, this immediately
sets the tone of isolation.
The warm tones bring a
sense of authenticity to
the piece – and adds to
the natural setting.
This scene is interesting,
where he pears out the
window sets the
contrast between the
indoors and the
possibilities of
exploration.
As the music video progresses we get wider shots of the different scenery. I really love
the colour grading used in the scenes as they create a more visually pleasing shot. I also
love the sense of isolation and independence. From watching this video, I felt liberated
and inspired. I think sometimes the subtle messages that a music video creates is the
reason why they are so amazing – especially with the song to compliment it.
The music video ends with shots of on top of the mountain where he completes his
adventure. The theme of childhood and independence create a feeling of liberation for
the viewer – something we hope to incorporate in our own.
