Mumford & Sons - 'Winter Winds'

Mumford & Son's - 'Winter Winds'

This music video my British indie, folk band "Mumford & Sons". The video for this the song 'Winter Winds', is a contempary video which represents the idea of a British video. This is shown through the choice of location, the use of lighting and other aspects. The choice of location shows the generic British landscapes. The conventional shots of the of the lead singer walking through the fields fit in with the the genre type, that being the folk genre. The band themselves fit into the genre very well. This is shown through the instruments that are played. (Banjo, Acoustic guitar, Accordion) all of which are iconic to folk music. And have been at the forfront of the genre. Lighting used in the video is all natural apart from the inside shots which are taken to show the bands more light-hearted side when touring showing them to be in a small and dainty British ale house. This made made clear from the close-up of the glass of ale.
