Influences and Intentions

When I looked at the lyrics of the song, and listened to it

a few times, it made me think of a calm video, and I was reminded of Gabriella Aplin’s ‘Home’ video, and

could imagine a similar, narrative-light journey

fitting with the style of music here.

When looking at ‘Ho Hey’ and ‘Little Lion Man’, I was

reminded of the mentions of light/dark in the song’s

lyrics, and particularly liked the stark locations and use of

minimal lighting. This influenced me into thinking something similar could be

used in my music video

The countryside/journey idea really appealed to me from

numerous videos, as it fits the genre, especially the shots

where the sun shone onto the camera and created a warm,

soft glow. However, it seemed initially to be too difficult to

combine with the sophisticated look of the Mumford & Sons and

Lumineers’ videos.

Re-listening to the track helped to piece together the concept for the music video and refine how I thought about it, as I realised the

titular ‘Silver Light’ could be a character or a metaphor that

leads the singer out of the dark, shadowy and bare location seen in ½ of my research, out into the bright natural landscape seen in

the other 1/2

Other influences are mainly random shots that show

things from different, more unusual angles, such as

through shadows, blurred shots and mirrors. These

make for more interesting videos that are more

varied.
