RESEARCH: Review Of My Favourite Previous Student Video

This is the student video I chose to analyse, as it was my favourite. I really like the motifs of the red (symbolizing love) and the people holding up the placards as it represents a sense of unity and agreement that “everybody needs love”. The lip syncing was on point and the choice of different locations went well with the genre (British indie). The role of the girl in the video is to be both the narrator and the participant. There are many other participants in the video who hold the signs.

There was a good variety of camera shots and angles, such as:

 Close Up

 Low Angle

 Extreme Close Up

 Long Shot

Two Shot

I think the only downfall of the video is that some of the shots, with the people holding the placards, had too much space above their heads. Other than that I think the music video was great and it made me realise how much effort and thought needs to be put forward in order to create a really good music video.
