The Wallows is an American alternative rock/indie band composed by Dylan Minnette (guitar/vocals), Braeden Lemasters (guitar/vocals) and Cole Preston (drums).
'These Days' is a song written by Cole Preston. It is part of their third album: 'Spring' (2018). The song 'These Days' questions "is she into me?". The videoclip shows the band, The Wallows, performing their song outside a girl's window who watches them unimpressed- suggesting a one-sided love situation.
The videoclip consists of a mix between narrative and performance. However, they rely more on their simple plot rather than the performance as they are only three members and there's not much to shoot, performance wise.
The videoclip's colour palette are mostly tones of orange, yellow and green and contrasting blues. These convey a bright and bubbly atmosphere.
Camera shots vary depending on performance or narrative cuts. Performance cuts use mostly wide shots to show all three performers and some closeups and extreme closeups on the instruments being played. Narrative cuts are mostly mid-shots and closeups on the lead female's facial expressions and actions.
The editing transitions are quite slowed paced to capture all actions between both lead female and performers. At times, it also includes comic book sound effects as such, to add on to the fun, animated concept/vibe of the videoclip.
