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/Meaning

It 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/Meaning‘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.
