Whilst looking for ideas for our final videos we came across a selection of other people's previous music videos.
I think the whole class is agreed that this music video is really good. Not only does it experiment with camera shot types and angles but it also includes after effects creating animation. This shows that after effects can really enhance a video and is something to think about for my final video.
I thought this video had a good concept but I felt it was lacking. All the lip syncing and similar dance moves made it vary repetitive and I would have preferred it if there was some cut-aways that weren't focusing on the girl to break it up a bit. I did like the concept of her being a ballet dancer and would have preferred to see more of this, maybe rehearsals before the audition instead of just dressing up. I also don't think the ending was necessary. This highlights that video concept is important and planning it out so it doesn't become boring and repetitive is a must.
I really enjoyed this video. It is clear that the person who directed this video thought a lot about locations and mise-en-scene. It also has lots of smooth camera movements and brilliant composition of the framing. The only downside I could really find with this video is that when showing her playing the guitar, although she is strumming, she could could have played a string of a few different chords as it is unlikely a guitarist would play the same chord for that length of time. Other than that this video has been well planned and thought through with a good story throughout.
