Fickle Friends- For You

Genre: Indie

Brighton based electronica band. Currently working with 'Killing Moons Records' which is an independent label in the UK. The small label may be the reason for their lack of publicity. Yet their three singles have been relatively successful, with 610,000 plays on Soundcloud. They have also played more than 23 overseas festivals since their formation in 2013.
Due to their lack of current attention, they appeal to a smaller market at the moment, with their music 'exclusive' to a smaller fan base.

• Mise- en- scene: High key lighting, dark outfits, initially urban setting (bedroom), changes to rural settings (forest, quarry, bonfire)
• Cinematography: Close ups of artist, wide angle shots of landscape, several low angle shots, shots facing bright lights this creates orbs and other interesting effects.
• Message of video/ generic types: Teenagers seen as reckless breaking into quarry, turns into typical love story, male character becomes the hero, protector over female character.

The Manipulation of the lighting is the most interesting factor
of this music video, the unusual low angle shots also
add to the intrigue.
