Kevin Morby - I've been to the mountain


- Its got a narrative - but it is more of a thought beat as it makes you think more about the song than the artist.


- It's selling the artist as alternative/indie as you don't see him and focus more on the song than the image.


- Visuals match the lyrics in an opaque manner (unclear).


- Handheld camera creates verisimilitude as we almost feel like we are in the hospital. The use of the colours add to this effect and makes eh hospital almost dream-like.


- The grainy effect connotes death/miserable feel of the visuals despite the juxtaposition between the happiness of the ancestors routine/almost psychotic nature of the dancer and the colour palette of the visuals. Thos adds to the theme of the visuals.

There are intertextual reference points to more obscure arty films (Tarantiono, David Lynch)
