We can draw useful influences when analysing the video for Mumford and Sons ‘The Cave’ music video.
Firstly there is the way that they introduce the two bands. A long shot at the start of the video introduces the band to the audience. This is followed by another long shot of the second, Mexican themed band in the video. From this we can see that introducing the actual band first is important, to showing you who are the actual performers of the song. By introducing the second band after, shock and contrats will be created.
Costume was a big factor to the second band in the video. We wanted to make our costume quite authentic, because by making the second Mexican themed band in our video more serious, the comedy would seem less cheesy. In the Mumford and Sons video the second band are wearing formal Spanish band uniform. We wanted the costume of the characters in our video to be similar to this costume.
The use of close ups is vital in the Mumford and Sons video. This is something we wish to include in our video. The use of close ups make the audience feel more involved and adds more intensity to the video. Shots of the lead singers of the two bands singing also creates a link between the video and the lyrics.
We want to end our video using a shot like the end shot in Mumford and Sons video. Using the rule of thirds, we see the two bands enter the shot side on. Whereas the Mumford and Sons video isn’t comedic, by drawing heavy influences from this, yet using two bands consisting of the same actors, just costumed differently, our video will be comedic.
