Ben Howard - Old Pine




  • Opening shots of corn blowing in the wind - nature, connoting tranquillity & country theme
  • Change from light to dark (sunset/sunrise) - calmness
  • Use of shadows - journey/freedom of artist in the video
  • Panning and tracking of footsteps through grass - theme of nature & sense of accomplishing is connoted
  • Camera movement with waves - connotes tranquility 
  • Pace of editing increases when lyrics are introduced - impact of the song
  • Various changes from day to night - reference to the importance of life - shows both day and night
  • Mid-shots of artist - clothing and facial expression iconically connote freedom
  • CU of fire - nature, instead of connoting danger I felt it connoted freedom
  • Panning movement following bird - again a sense of journey is suggested
  • Tilt up the tree, sunlight in the centre of the shot - use of natural lighting & freedom through the trees
  • ELS of cliff - setting connotes tranquility of the song, and the freedom that can be achieved 
  • Pace of editing increases largely with the impact of the song
