I like this music video due to the chilled atmosphere of the whole things, created by the warm colours and locations, as well as the good use of camera angles and depth of field used.

I like this pull focus shot as the wheat and the lights go in and out of focus, the general lighting and setting creates a mellow but interesting atmosphere.

The depth of field in this shot, having just Ben Howard in focus and the forest background out of focus, looks professional and allows the viewer to focus on him singing the words of the song.

This panning shot, which moves backwards as he walks towards the camera, allows the viewer to take in the surroundings, as well as the artist singing. This long shot allows the viewer to take in the neutral colours of the background as well as the artists outfit.

This medium shot of the artist profile, looking into the sun, creates a very cool effect as the sun hits the camera lens. The orange colouring is effective and is made to look even better by the great depth of field, focusing on the portrait.

This low angle shot looking up into the sun through the trees creates an interesting composition, with a good contrast between the bright sky and dark trees.

This establishing shot of the the cliffs over the sea, adds another interesting location to the video. Although it is simplistic, I think the time of day and long shot make an interesting scene to add in.

The time of day that this shot is filmed in, late evening, creates a eye catching reflection on the ocean, and allows the surfer to be seen as a silhouette... very cool.

I love this shot, using shallow depth of field, the lights are out of focus in the background, and a section of the leaves are in perfect focus, it creates an interesting composition and relaxed atmosphere.
