Camera Angles

After researching music videos made by folk bands such as Fleet Foxes, Bombay Bicycle Club, Grizzly Bear, The Maccabees etc. I concentrated on the camera angles used. For the majority of Bombay Bicycle Club's music videos, the shots consist of extreme close ups, long pans, and jump shots. Also I noticed that the camcorder is purposely handheld without the use of a tripod to give their videos a more amateur look, possibly? I think this technique works as it makes the video seem more quirky and rustic! I believe the more complex music videos are made by Fleet Foxes as they have an older style of work e.g. overlaying shots, slow panning, medieval fonts etc. Here are a few screenshots of their work:

Bombay Bicycle Club - Dust on the Ground

Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why

The Maccabees - First Love
