Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers
1. The common characteristics of the genre indie pop isn't explored in this video, as pop videos aim to appeal to a general audience instead of sub-cultures, much unlike this video which can be seen as slightly unusual.
2. The music and visuals have a strong relationship, as the video illustrates a woman chasing a man, directly linking to the lyrics "I'll follow you, deep sea baby".
3. The video only edits to the beat on occasion (ex. 1.12, 1.21).
4. The music artist is given a few more close ups than the other person featured in the video, however the two are given very similar screen time. There's a shot of the artist looking directly into the camera at 3.57 which sells the 'Star Image'.
5. The woman in the video is seen to be fully covered in cloth which desexualises her, however the close up shot of her kissing while looking directly into the camera is quite provocative.
6. There is no inter-textual references.
