Research for Music Video: A Review of Previous Student Video

VIDEO BY TOBI ABIOLA, ANJANA VARSANI & AXL SMITH.

I feel this previous student work is a good example in reference to the function of a music video because it follows all the main video conventions, an example jumps cuts. Jump cuts are used often within this video to help break up continuity editing in order for it to be more interesting to watch which effectively draws the audience in further, allowing them to concentrate on the artist. In terms of the effects used, I feel their use of slow motion was used excused well as they managed to make sure the lip syncing matched the timing of the track. I also feel they feel into the category of disjuncture, appropriate to Andrew Goodwin's theory as the video doesn't necessarily represented the lyrics. Lastly, I feel this video was also successfully as it had a variety of camera shots at various angles as well as having a ton of close ups which in my opinion, made it more interesting to watch as whole.
