Research for music video: Faviourte previous student videos.

In the lesson we where shown the music videos from previous students over the years. It was interesting seeing the different outcomes and how much the quality has changed from the first disc in 2006. Below i have listed my two favourite videos. 


Favourite Music Videos 




  • Range of base tracks - I liked that there was a variety of base tracks used throughout as it shows consistency 
  • Editing on time with the music- The editing change speed to fit the pase of the music , which made the lip syncing look more realistic 
  • Vibrant colours - The flashing lights defiantly made the video stand out , it looks fun and vibrant but can give you a little bit of a head ache. 
  • Camera- There was a wide range of shot types used throughout the video which worked well with the song i liked that there was a lot of movement coming from the camera as it made the video look more professional. 
  • mise en scene - There was a lot going on in this video , they had a range of  locations , setting , props , lighting , costumes , body language & make up . which i liked because i think it explored real elements of music videos. 





  • Black and white - I like the use of black and white throughout the video as it fitted well with the genre. I like how the colour wasn't flat even though it was all in black and white , they use texture and lighting to keep it interesting. 
  • Contunity editing - I think the shots , the theme , the story and editing was very consistent it stuck to the genre which made the video look very strong.
  • No story -  I like how the video didn't necessarily tell a story , there where parts where the lyrics matched up with the images but that was only a small part of the video , the majority of the video showed the groups interpretation. 
  • Time laps at night - I liked the time laps at night it helped to break up the song and slow down the pase. 
  • Little lip sync- I like how there wasn't a lot of lip syncing and there was a large emphasis on the story and visuals.
