All of which give an easy going feel.]]> 2016-11-17 04:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/connorseri/k21cutopybdt/wish/138304496 connorseri https://padlet.com/connorseri/k21cutopybdt/wish/138304569 The editing in indie folk music videos often use slow motion to convey the relaxed motion.

Men usually wear a hat, a collard shirt with shorts or trousers and sometimes sunglasses. Girls wear skirts or baggy trousers with a simple t shirt. Sometimes the characters are bare footed. This all gives an impression of being free and fun and relaxed. So rather than tight suits or fancy dresses that could give an impression that they dont have any troubles in life. The main theme throughout indie videos is usually "Enjoy life". Simple, naturalistic colours are worn. men sometimes have beards and again give an easy going feel.]]> 2016-11-17 04:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/connorseri/k21cutopybdt/wish/138305323 connorseri https://padlet.com/connorseri/k21cutopybdt/wish/138305608 All we ever knew by The Head and The Heart
