Lindisfarne - James Blake


Me and Billy really like this video and feel that the 'uneasy' atmosphere is relevant to our thriller. As well as this, there is quite a sense of mystery that hangs around this video. Several enigmas are raised;

Who is this girl?
What are they doing?
   - drugs?
   - are they a cult?
Why does the girl cry at the end?
   -is it because of what happened?
   -is it because she doesn't want to leave?

Are among some of the questions we asked.

We like this video because it's abstract, which is something we'd like to get across in in our piece, although we feel it's something that is quite difficult to convey, as it's a fine line between being abstract and being completely random.

The girl has a slightly innocent, yet rather haunted look. She also looks lost, and as if she is not entirely sure what is happening. We would like our girl to have this look.
The song is also strange, and builds up in complex layers, which is similar to what we wish to do with our soundtrack. There is no diegetic sound, only the non-diegetic song (apart from where the man appears to be singing the song), which we wish to do.
