Task 6 Student Music Videos

A/A*

This is a music video from last year that is of very good quality. The lip syncing is completely on time, the location is interesting, the costumes have been well thought out and the video as a whole is very creative. Animated cuts are used throughout the video giving it more marks on the editing front and there also very creatively used making for scenes you would often see in a music video. The location and outfits are very fitting. The chase takes place through a big city which you would associate with crime. I'd give this video a A/A* as everything has been displayed in a professional way and the final piece is very professional.



This music video was made 2 years ago and like the previous video is of very good quality. Though the shots were similar mid shots throughout they were effectively used and cleverly placed. The whole video was black and white and though not a hard edit to make, an effective one none the less. The quick shots that are used when the drop breaks in wrk really well as they create an impact on the viewer as the music builds. The lip syncing didn't work so well as it was out of time at times however other than this the video is professional.



B/C

This music video was made last year and is at a B/C standard. There is no lip syncing, and little acting. Also the editing mainly consists of cuts and nothing else. Though one camera trick is used effectively throughout this video and thats the cutting of the woman in and out of the shot. This is used throughout the whole video and used as a key theme, as he is mourning over her death throughout. The camera shots mainly consisted of mid shots and I feel this could of been changed to create more of a variety. Though the camera work that was done was done in a professional manner.



This music video has good editing techniques however it uses the same locations and the acting is not amazing. When the lead character is stood in front of the garage an editing technique is used very well there handing over a lot of marks. However the rest of the music video is just the lead character miming, quite poorly, with boring shots of the came tracking down an alley. The creative side of this piece is good with the way the director has chosen to have people holding up sheets of paper with words on them instead of acting out a scene to portray this emotion.



D/E

This video has good camera angles, but thats about it. The creativity here lacks massively, the whole video consists of two actors walking around town. There's no lip syncing or acting between the characters and to be honest theres not a lot to say about this video either, its just an un creative video that I can imagine didn't get many marks
