Jeff Buckley is my favourite musican and I thought why not post a music video of him?
All the video is set in a sepia filter and is mainly performance based of Jeff Buckley and his band, with a little bit of concept thrown in there. It's quite a dark music video filled with shadows, which contrast with the light that is cast upon the performers from different angles.
It is full of quick shots of the band from different directions, and also just random objects, such as a water glass, road signs etc. There are very short cuts of the video between scenes which look like old burnt film. This combined with the sepia tone give it an old fashioned feeling, and shots show Buckley in a Taxi (possibly) going around a city.

In the last minute or so of the song when it reaches its climax the video speeds up, some parts in fast forward, and things crash to the floor, like a vase of flowers which was previously seen in the video. This part of the video reflects well to the music but none of the song really relates to the lyrics. It comes to an end of an extremly high note that Buckley is singing, and the video ends with a close up of his face in black and white with extreme contrasts between the shades and then fades out to a black screen.
I there are a lot of significant aspects of this video which you could discuss, Holly. Also, has it inspired you at all? Are there any techniques/ideas that you would like to use in your own video?
