8 - review of my favourtie previous student video.



I chose this video as the song has a 'funky' beat and is similar to the genre of house music and electro music that us as a group want to use in our music video.
 I liked this shot as it is evident it is a base track and the video would keep repeating this shot. I like it because it has been edited in black and white which was different to all the previous shots that were in colour.
 This shot was visually unusual but enticing and strangely matches the beat of the song. It is something I have not seen within a music video and so makes the video stand out more and more memorable to the audience.
 I particularly liked this close up as it represents the lyrics 'like fire' meaning the narrative matches the lyrics within this shot. This shot essentially symbolises the overall song and it is good that this shot is repeated on numerous occasions.
 I also liked this close up as it focuses on the artists lips. It is a convention that is used in many music videos and makes the videos more visually different but enjoyable to watch. Seeing her mouth the lyrics makes the audience listen to them more coherently.
 I liked this shot as they edited the leaves to go in reverse. It is exciting to watch and makes the video clearly stand out more. It shows the group made a great effort in adding effects to their video and this is something me and my group should keep in mind and remember while editing.
 I thought this was a really creative shot. This is because the movement of the fingers matched the instrumental in time. It was a repeated shot also which made it interesting to watch



I liked this establishing shot as it establishes a urban location and links to the genre of the song.
