Watercolour is Pendulums single off their new album Immersion, the single made it to number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. I feel the video to this drum and base track really goes well with the pace of the song. In the video the band have carried out the water theme they have used through out the whole album, the video is very dark and they use a lot of lighting effects which makes the colour of the video seem blue which relates to the album artwork. The main focus of the video is some kind of weird moving planet which the lead vocalist (Rob Swire) stares at as beam of light shines on him with the beat of the first chorus, water begins splashing over a crowd of around 70 people and the rest of the band as they perform. They slow some of the shots down to make the water coming off the crowd and the instruments look more dramatic, in other shots the camera is shaking and focuses on the water moving on the surface of the mysterious planet. Towards the end of the video the song begins to slow down, the planet has a light surrounding it and the shots become brighter, suddenly the the base in the song comes back and the planet explodes and the light surrounds Swire. I really think the video works well with the song, they put a lot of effort into making the beat fit with whats going on the video. They made good use of lighting to make the video start dark and gradually turn bright, also the crowd and band members are dressed in dark clothing to suit the lighting in the video.
