Introduction
India “Indie” Rock is a Music genre that originated in the late 1990s as a result of the British indie rock scene. The genre is characterized by its use of electric guitars, drums, and bass guitar, as well as its influences from folk, jazz, and blues music. Indie rock bands typically do not sign with major record labels.
The music video for “Petite Girl in the Forest” by indie rock band White Denim was released on March 4th, 2016. The video tells the story of a petite girl who gets lost in the forest and befriends a creature who helps her find her way back home.
The video has been described as “charming”, “whimsical”, and “adorable”. It has received positive reviews from Critics and has been praised for its cinematography and visual effects.
The Making of the Music Video
The music video for “Petite Girl in the Forest” was shot in a single day in the woods outside of Los Angeles. The video features a petite girl (played by the musician’s daughter) running and playing in the forest. The video was inspired by the work of French New Wave filmmaker Agnes Varda.
The Concept
The music video for “Petite Girl in the Forest” was inspired by a number of factors, including the artist’s own experience as a “petite girl in the forest.” The aim was to create a visual representation of the song that would be both aesthetically pleasing and reflective of the lyrics.
To this end, the music video features a petite girl (played by the artist herself) walking through a forest. The camera follows her as she makes her way through the woods, stopping occasionally to take in her surroundings. The video takes on a whimsical tone, with the girl often skipping or dancing as she goes.
The use of color is also important in the video, with muted tones used throughout to create a calming effect. This helps to contrast with the more chaotic energy of the song itself. Ultimately, the goal was to create a music video that would be both visually appealing and emblematic of the song’s themes.
The Location
We found the perfect location for our music video shoot after a long search through the forests of Vermont. The spot we chose was a small clearing surrounded by tall trees and a babbling brook. It felt like another world, and we knew it would be the perfect place to film our video.
We spent the first day setting up our equipment and making sure everything was ready to go. We had brought along a generator to power our lights, and we set up a small canopy to protect us from the sun and rain. We also brought some props with us, including a vintage typewriter and some old suitcases.
Once everything was set up, we were ready to start filming. We had planned out each shot in advance, so we knew exactly what we needed to do. We filmed for two days, and everything went according to plan.
The final product was even better than we could have imagined. We were so happy with the way the video turned out, and we know that it will resonate with viewers who see it.
The Filming
The filming of the music video took place in early May, just a few weeks before the release of the album. The location was a small forest in upstate New York. The forest was chosen for its natural beauty and because it had special meaning to the artist.
The video was shot over the course of two days. On the first day, the team set up all of their equipment and did a test shoot. This allowed them to get a feel for the space and figure out the best places to put the cameras.
On the second day, they filmed the actual video. The artist performed the song several times, with slight variations each time. This allowed them to get a variety of shots and footage that they could use in editing.
Overall, it was a quick and easy shoot, thanks to good planning and great weather.
The Music Video Itself
The video opens with a close shot of a girl in a green dress, standing in the middle of a forest. The camera pulls back to reveal the girl is petite, with short brown hair. She is looking around curiously, as if she’s lost. As the camera continues to pull back, we can see that she is holding a small, red bird in her cupped hands.
The Opening Scene
The opening scene is set in a dark forest. We see a small girl, no older than 10, walking through the woods. She looks scared and lost. As she walks, we hear the sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling. Suddenly, a black cat appears out of nowhere and scares the girl. She falls to the ground and starts to cry. The camera zooms in on her face as she looks up at the sky and we see the tears rolling down her cheeks. The music starts to play and we see the girl getting up and continuing to walk through the forest.”
The Main Body
The video begins with a petite girl walking through a forest. The camera zooms in on her as she walks and we see that she is barefoot. She is wearing a white dress with flower patterns and has her hair tied up in a bun. She looks like she is lost or searching for something. The camera continues to follow her as she walks and we see that she is increasingly becoming more and more lost. Suddenly, she stops and looks around her, confused.
She then starts to wander aimlessly around the forest, still looking lost. The camera cuts to different shots of her walking among the trees and bushes. We hear an indie rock song playing in the background. The camera then shows a close up shot of the girl’s face and we can see that she looks distressed. Next, we see her sitting on a log, looking tired and hopeless.
The video then cuts to black and we hear the sound of a beating heart. After a few seconds, the image of the girl reappears, but this time she is running through the forest, looking happy and free. The camera cuts to different shots of her running and jumping among the trees. We hear the sound of bird’s singing in the background.
Suddenly, the girl stops running and looks up at the sky. The camera zooms in on her face and we see that she has tears in her eyes. The video fades to black and we hear the sound of an ambulance siren in the distance followed by the sound of a heart monitor flat-lining.
The Ending Scene
In the final scene of the video, the protagonist has a realization and comes to a newfound understanding about herself and her place in the world. This is signified by the warm, yellow light that surrounds her as she walks through the forest. The light represents hope, understanding, and growth.
The fireflies that were previously chasing her are now flying around her in a peaceful manner, signifying that she is now at peace with herself. The fact that she is now walking towards the camera instead of running away from it also represents her new found confidence. She has come to terms with who she is and is now ready to face the world.
The song ends with the lyrics “And I know now, I’m not alone” which represent the protagonist’s realization that she is not alone in this world and that there are others who understand her. The music video ends with the protagonist walking out of the forest and into the sunlight, signifying her new beginning.
Conclusion
After watching the music video for “Petite Girl in the Forest” by indie rock band “nü ködex”, I was left feeling both confused and unsettled. The video features a petite girl who seems to be lost in the forest, and she is being followed by a menacing-looking creature. While the video is visually interesting and the music is good, I’m not sure what to make of it. Is the creature supposed to be a metaphor for something? Is the girl in danger? I’m not sure, but I do know that this video left me thinking.
