Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal



I chose to analyse this video as it's animated, unlike the others videos which I've looked at meaning that I could gain more knowledge of the different styles used for indie folk music.
  • Dim lighting - connotes tranquility and eeriness of song
  • MS of characters - allows animation of characters to be iconically connoted
  • Turning of wheel - fairytale-like, connotes that the video revolves around a theme of time
  • Speeding up of time - day to night, again the theme of time is connoted
  • Natural scenery - connotes the fairytale style
  • Lighting changes with time of day
  • Season changes
  • Often MS & LS throughout - variation of characters clearly visible
  • Shots centralised - characters are always the centre of the action
  • Fairly slow paced editing - slow pace of the song 
  • Mainly same setting - repetition throughout
  • Speeding up of time - theme of ageing
  • Lighting dims with death of flowers etc. - connotes death, ending of time
  • Fade at the end - tranquility
  • Little character interaction - connoting calmness & individuality
