Review on past student’s work
I am reviewing the student music video, which is made by
Jem, Zakariya, Courtney and Fuzail. The genre for this video, I assume, would
be pop/indie because it is simple, there isn’t much going on and it’s just two
band members playing the guitar. There isn’t really a narrative structure to
this video since it is mainly filmed in 3 different locations, but it has a
clear structure. The structure of this video is the two guys playing guitars in
the different locations wearing costumes that don’t really go with their
background (well. That was their aim). I don’t really think that part of the
music video came across to the audience very well.
However, their editing skills were really strong. Majority
of their edits went in time to the beat of the music, and it fits the change in
the songs. They also included effects that suited a particular part of the
song. For example, on the bridge of the song where it was an instrumental, they
added a four /split screen into their music video to give it more a quirky feel
to suit their chosen genre. There were also some wipes alongside the four split
screens for the bridge.
The lip singing in the music video was done really well, as
it looked like they were actually singing. I t showed how well planned and
prepared they were for their coursework. I also think the lighting for the
music video reflects the song as well, it is bright yet looks natural (maybe it
was?).
Overall, I thought the video was really good for students
work and it deserved the full marks it got (40 marks).
