Kimonos - Almost human
This video by the Kimonos is a rather conventional one.
There is a significant use of lighting found in the video, used with a paper lantern form behind the camera, giving the white background an interesting shadowed texture but doesn't take attention away from the singer or the model or band members. This use of lighting also makes us focus on certain focal points, for example eyes, lips and the colours in the shots (Red of the lipstick and her kimono).
The camera work involved using a variety of close-ups which zoom out to medium long-shots, or from the medium long shots zooming into close ups. The framing of the shots are straight on which is commonly found as it sticks to conventions and has no connotations, but does carry on bringing the focus to the singer, Leo, and the girl in the red kimono, the feature of narrative in the video.
