Reviewing Other People's Work

I decided to review previous groups work from 2 years ago. They did a song by Florence and the Machines:

PRO'S

• I really enjoyed this video because of its attention to detail, they really focused on making it look professional and interesting and how they wanted the video to be conveyed to the audience.
• The colors and costumes used are really good, in each different scene the singer has the same makeup on which links the scenes together. 
• Good use of lighting, some shots were darker then others which creates intensity and makes the music video as a whole more diverse.
• They use fast and slow motion and when the girl is singing with the projector on her face her movements are sped up however she is still singing in time and the words are in sync with her mouth which is difficult to achieve if you are speeding up the shot. I think by speeding up the shots whilst she was still singing in time with the song really added character to their music video.
• They also use a projector that goes onto her face which was clever and unique to other students work.
• This was my favorite student music video because it looked professional and the editing was smooth which made it easy and entertaining to watch.

CON'S 

• They could of used less static shots and added a bit more movement to the camera shots.
• I thought that the music video had elements similar to things that Florence and the Machines would use in her music videos. I think this was probably done deliberately however they were suppose to create a music video by a new artist and i feel like the video was linked too closely to Florence and the Machine's music videos.
