Genre and research

The song i'm am creating a music video for comes under the genre of Experimental folk/ Folktronica. As i know from watching videos in the past of folk genre that they have some common charteristics, for example;
- Slow editing but generally speeding up with the tempo of the music.
- Shots of the outside and natrual world ( on the whole ). We are shown people amoungst nature or in relatively calm and quite places.
- Promotes the bohemian style of living, through edits and also the props and actions within the shots.
- There is usually performance in folk videos, its rare not to see performance.
- Use of in and out focus shots.
- Use of warm filters .

Some of these features are displayed in the following videos.
