Typical Conventions of Folk Music VideosJustine Mason
Mise en sceneTypically set outside – amongst nature - fields, parks, seaside – symbolises freedom.
Costume – ‘farmer’ wear – boots, jeans, check shirts, dungarees.
Performance – emphasise musicianship of artists.
Focus on artist – not always in manner of Goodwin’s Star Image Theory.
Colour scheme – dull, earthy tones.
Camera
Hand-held camera work– subtle wobbles and imperfections – adds element of humanisation –association with nature and freedom.
Long-shots – heighten audiences sense of anticipation.
Close-ups – voyeuristic manner - conveys emotion of artist/band – typically used on instruments.
Editing
Thought beat editing – edited on beat to prevent jarring cuts – doesn’t detract from music.
Slow-motion – adds to emotional impact of music.
