Passenger is a popular UK artist known for his indie folk music. At the beginning of the song/ music video we are instantly introduced with type of

music video it will be as the first shot is of masses of trees outside therefore it is evident the video may be an indie folk video.

Passenger ‘Restless wind’

Mise-en-sceneThe mise en scene is what represents the genre of song the music video is categorised into. A common prop used within indie folk music videos is a guitar which 'Passenger'

uses in his music video, the artist himself is sat performing the song 'restless wind'. Whilst the artist is playing you see a large open countryside however the artist is only in focus

which makes the audience focus on the one character. The video is set in North America where he captures picturesque views of beaches, a pier, woodlands, the sea and life in

the city. The lighting stays light, bright to represent the mood and tone of the song as the majority of what we see is using the sunlight. By using natural sunlight it supports the genre of song. Passenger is dressed in casual clothing as the other characters are also

dressed however the footage of other people featured in the video are not intentional.

CameraEach shot has an average length of 4-5 seconds however

the length varies slightly, the length of the shots contributes to creating a soft transition from each shot to the next. The camera movement for each alternating shot

of the 'nature' aspect of the video is moving slowly into the environment in that specific shot. The slow movement of the camera reflects the title of the song about 'restless wind'. Each camera shot is either a wide shot or long shot

that aims to show to area and setting of the video, by presenting large shots allows the audience to take in what

they are watching and gain a feel as to what the music video is trying to present. A birds eye camera angle is used

a few times throughout the video which allows the audience to gain a different spatial perspective of the

positive views.The music video uses the representation of indie folk

music videos by featuring the video when the sun is out, using appealing views, the use of an artist performing and

using imagery of the countryside.

Theorists

The music video 'restless wind' challenges Laura Mulveys idea of the male gaze theory because it does not feature any women in the video. Andrew Goodwin's theory is used because you are bale to apply aspects of the theory such as the

speed of the song is reflected through the cuts and length of the shots. The slower the cut, the slower the tempo. The star image is advertised through the artist

himself performing the song which enables the audience to know who the artist is and is a different way of advertising. In some ways the video is an illustrative video

because it includes shots of the impact of wind for example a flag blowing. Technical codes are thought about through the construction of this music video by the visuals

reflecting the mood and tone of the song, it permits a calm and relaxed feel.
