Little Lion Man

In this video it starts with an empty stage and having two basic lights hanging from the ceiling. This looks quite effective as it looks a bit deserted and a bit scary also we have a stage at school so could do something similar. Then they use a zoom out and a cross cut to a zoom in on a guitar with him playing it. Afterwards they have a lighting that makes him shadowed but everything else bright. The main focuses of this video is there raw talent and the music as the video is very basic.
 The color scheme they have chosen to use is a sort of sepia effect which makes it look quite old which also goes along with there clothing which is quite old fashioned. I like how it is very plain in the background because that focuses your attention on them and kind of makes them seem more down to earth as they are not being extravagant. 
As the video plays more lights appear t, this is a very basic effect but works very well as it shadows certain parts well. There are a lot of close ups on the instruments and the hands playing on them.
There are a mixture of cutting rates they are sometimes quick but randomly have long ones.
