Research into previous students work

this music video i find is good as i think the shot types are used very well throughout the whole video. the song and the story line work well together too. i think for my actual music video if i do a story line along side the band playing id use some of the shots that are used in this video. the shot where he is stood on the bridge and the focus shifts from her to him behind her is a shot i would use in my music video at some point. the way the student has put cartoon writing over the top of the video is very clever and looks really good as its different to other previous work i have looked at and its very creative. his idea for the music video isnt actually very creative as this song already has a music video and the story line is the same which is something im trying not to do as its not an original idea. the editing for this is really well done as the lyrics match with what he is saying which is hard to get it exactly right so it makes it look more professional. the whole music video is very well organised and goes well with the song. if there was any critism for this music video it would only be the concept of it as it copies the idea of the actual music video, the cuts and shots all work well within the music video and it looks well done.

This music video is more how i am going to set mine up. Mine is also going to have shots of the band playing alongside a story line. the shots of the girl and boy walking which fade into the boy walking alone are very well done and look suitably placed. the fact the music video keeps going from black and white into colour is very disorienting and think it would look better all shot in either one or the other. the editing is very good also in this music video as the lyrics are in time with what the singer is singing. the cuts are on the beat of the music which makes the music video look better and more professional. i like the shots of the band members playing as i am wanting to do that for my music video and it works well. the editing also on the band playing is very good as they look like they are also playing in time with the music.

i chose to analyse this music video as it again is like the music video i am going to produce with the band playing and a story line alongside it. the shot types in this music video are really impressive and at 1:15 the shot (dolly zoom) is really impressive and works really well within the music video. i like the story line that goes alongside the song as it works well. Again like the other two music videos the editing is really precise as the singer is singing along and in time with the music playing over the top. the fast forwarding of the shots of the cars looks really good and the colours work well within the music video. the lighting that is used on the band keeps the colour pallete the same which makes all of the different cuts work well together and there is no drastic changes in them. some of the cuts are just placed randomly and not when there is a beat which would make it look better.
