What I Liked About It
For this music video, I was instantly captivated by the psychedelic patterns of ink. I feel like this was a very creative and artistic element to the structure of the video. The context of this video is very up to interpretation. The black and white elements make this video calm and relaxing, the tones being soft and the editing smooth and continuous. The lack of expression means that the audience can interpret whatever they like from the video - from when he is laying in a field, to the slow-motion of him falling into the lake. Was it intentional? Why is he there? These rhetorical questions are intentional for the hallucinatory theme of the video. The fish-eye camera and over-lapping of different camera shutters was really effective for this characteristic piece.

What I Liked About It
In retrospect to the previous music video, this is similar as there are no lyrics within the song. I think music videos that do not have lyric timing makes them more story-based and can be a lot more creative in respect of visual imagery. The story-line is more prominent in this music video and you can follow the directions of the girl as she walks (use of panning). However, this story-line also had live performance in it, although you never really see the artist's faces, just the musical instruments. I think this is clever because they overlapped lighting to make it quite psychedelic and original - linking with the futuristic, magical theme of the music video.
