Dry The River- No Rest

This is the music video by the band Dry the River to the song 'No Rest'

Today in class we listened to this song twice before watching the music video for it. In our groups we came up with ideas of what we thought the music video would be like.
We could tell it was a band because of the different voices and instruments being played.We thought the target audience would be people with a unique taste in music or people who are more mature and have an older taste in music. The pace of the song is slow but quickens up.

This is what we thought the video could potentially be like after just listening to the song:
Potential narrative- a heterosexual couple in love, showing them arguing but the male is distraught at her leaving him
Potential setting- band set up in a low lit setting (shots of them playing) and then jump cuts to the narrative shots
Potential costume-dark clothing, maybe shirt or plain t-shirts and leather jackets
Camera shots- medium shots/close ups of lead singer and the couple, wide angle shots of whole band
Visuals to match lyrics- man and woman in love (jump cuts to romantic scenes, sweat on my brow (show him exhausted of fighting), carousel (flashback to good memories of the couple on a carousel)   and shot of birds

I like this music video because it is minimalist/ simple but still portrays a lot of emotion and feeling.
