Album CoverAs you can see there is no image

associated with the song here however the

Artists name ‘Ben Howard’ and the song

‘The Wolves’ have been link in together to

create an effect to show a link between the

song and the artist.

As you can see, there is a dark

nature about the song and it

has had a filter put over the

camera lens to create the effect

you expect when you come

across wolves.

Technical AspectsAs you can see, there has been a

filter used along with the camera

to create the effect given, it gives

the picture a slightly more matted

effect and it also creates and

atmosphere that works well with

the song.

Long shot of the people walking

with the furniture.

Once again a filter has been used

along with the camera, however this

time it is in a darker environment so it

adds to the atmosphere even more.

Mid shot of Ben Howard playing the

guitar and humming.

Technical AspectsYou can see a mid-long shot of the

artist ‘Ben Howard’ performing in a

band.

This part of the music video does not

follow any narrative because it is of

the artist performing, however this is

not the same throughout the video.

In this part of the video, you can

see a man ‘Ben Howard’ running

from the wolves in long shot, this

could also be seen as a point of

view (POV) shot as you could

imagine the camera being the eyes

of the wolves them

themselves, here there is narrative

being followed.

Conventions/Genre/Meanin

gIt shows that the video follows narrative

hear as the pictures are linked with the

lyrics.

‘Falling from high places’ this screen

shot shows that the shot is from low to

high and this relates to the lyrics.

Here you can also figure out a

genre for the music as

everything is shot in a similar

way and with the same or similar

filters on the camera. The genre

is Folk rock.

‘Towers been tumbling down’ this

is also narrative as you can see

the towers in the background are

destroyed

Conventions/Genre/Meanin

g ‘I’ve lost my patience with the

lord’ this is showing meaning as

the camera is going from low to

high and looking up at the bright

sky to show as if the lord was

looking down on him.

I also believe that this enforces

the Folk rock genre as it is

narrative based and you can

relate the lyrics to the picture

easily.You can see through the screenshots I

have taken, that this video is

narrative, however the shots of the

band playing show that he is showing

the production of it as well, not only is it

narrative but he is preforming the song

throughout the video.

GoodwinAmplification – You can always see Ben Howard

performing the song throughout the video, constantly

reminding you that he is the one who has created the

music.

Illustration – ‘Now that there is no where to

go’ this screenshot shows that they are

walking into the distance with nothing in front

of them therefore they haven't got a specific

destination. Disjuncture – Here the artist says ‘Where you

been hiding lately’ this picture of him singing it

has nothing related to the narrative part of the

story and it is clearly not related to it.

CarlsonBen Howard is a

commercial exhibitionist in

the way he portrays his

specific look in his styling

and his videos.

You can see here that he is wearing a

hoody and a indie style of clothing, lots of

people aspire to be like him therefore

they will want to dress similarly to him.

Here again you can see him performing

along with one of his band members and

they are both dressed in a very similar

fashion, this shows that he isn't keen on

changing his style as it works well with

his music.

Shore

These pictures show that there is

a reason why he is sitting and

performing in a surreal setting

because it shows that the lyrics

mean a lot to him and he is

emotionally attached with the

music.

Similar here, you can see him

performing along with his band

member to show that he has

created this piece of music and

he wants it to be clear to every

one that it is his and nobody

else's.
