AD: Responding to a track

Genre

• The genre of The Golden Age falls under Baroque Pop and Neofolk
• The reason for this is the use of piano, violins and large drums, albeit slightly distorted.

High or low fi video?

• The video itself falls under low fi style, as it uses:
• Black and white colour-grading
• A relatively small and unknown cast, with an absent band
• The CGI section in the beginning, is much more minimalistic and downscaled than their other videos.

Comparable videos?

Similarly styled videos include:

• Brennisteinn by Sigur Ros
• It is similar because:
• It is shot in black and white
• Slow-motion
• Close-ups
• It follows a slightly amplified narrative, although it contains more performance than The Golden Age.
• It has an artistic element to it, in this case the addition of yellow smoke 

 

I Love You - Woodkid

• Though this is the same artist, the song is an integral part of the band's meta-narrative.
• It is shot in black and white, with high contrasts and CGI.
• Utilises slow motion, which has become another part of the meta-narrative.
