Evaluate existing student videos

This video has many good angles and  different shot types  that shows the good use of camera   editing skills that they have  makes the video flow well and make it more interesting  because they use a different types of editing such fast pace shots slow motion and a variety of different editing skills  , this would of helped them to hit they higher end of the grade boundary .they also use a range of different settings and scenes that shows the thought they have put into the video and shows us they planned well before filming and had a clear idea of the scenes and images that they wanted to create, this will ensure that when comes to making our music video I will ensure that we plan in detail to ensure we know and get exactly what we want . the use of costumes are good sticking to the typical codes and conventions of this type of music video that is good but makes them all to common the videos become so alike and are similar to videos that I have seen before and it does not stand out as an original music and can become to typical and boring.

So I feel that this video would have been more affective if  the video was more original and created there own ideas rather than using ideas typically used in videos making it more original. its also been recognisable to me that a common convention of these type of music videos such as  hip-hop R&B show very proactive clothing and provocative way of acting this is very recognisable    in many video you see I feel that s a young girl she should not have conformed to these conventions she should of challenged them she has more likely used this style because this is what she I used to seeing and associates this with  good music video but its not the case and her video would have stood out to me more if I was not like every other recent video that I have seen and it challenged the conventions.






The fact that this video  used  of lip-syncing in this video is good and its well done the words our clear and its done well but they do not benefit the lip syncing and don't make it as good as they could have they look board no expression in there face just simply saying the words if you listen to the song the words have powerfully meaning and they do not show this through the song the lyrics of this song suggest that they are angry but they do not show this I think this affect the video and don't make it as successful as it could be.

This also shows that using a common song is hard and the Saturdays are very well know to many and the image that they create is easily recognisable and is the same image that they have used almost as if they have just recreated the Saturdays video and image showing that none of there ideas are very original and just copied from the videos that they have probably researched to improve this video it would have been better to used a unknown song that will allow you to think more about the video coming up with more original ideas making it there own.
