Analysis of previous student A-level music videos
Good Music Video
Average Music Video
This video is average as it used alot of editing techniques and camera angles this helped the vidoe to be more insync with the music, however some scenes of the lip syncing are off also the body language portrayed by the supposed artist needed to be more convincing. Although overall the whole music blended perfectly to the genre and lyrics of the music being played in addition the narrative of the story fitted perfectly to the lyrics of the music. The instruments being played are also on point with the beats.
Bad Music VIdeo
This music video is bad because the narrative used is bit unclear the Micheal jackson like dancer confused the whole narrative. Some of the lip syncing scenes are off and the camera angles that were used are ineffective and didn't match well to the music, also there was only a few close up shots meaning the main characters emotion weren't clear.
Ugly Music Video
This music video used too much repeated video clips which was mostly used throughout the whole video for example the first clip taken was repeated on the first half of the songs. The effects used dint match to the songs beat and the video's narrative. The narrative of was unclear, the difference between the role of the two girls were unclear and which one is the real girlfriend in the situation.
