 Vampire Weekend — Cousins (2009) 1. Design elements The video uses dark walls, bright colours, geometric shapes and casual clothing. Everything looks simple but colourful. 2. Effect of the elements Fast movement, repetition and bright colours make the video feel energetic, fun and a little chaotic. 3. How it was made It was filmed in a narrow alley.

The video begins with shots of the  night city  - lights, buildings, and people walking through the streets. Among them, we slowly introduce the singer.
