An analysis of previous student work

Out of the student example of which i have analysed i think that this is the best one. This music video would be classed as a performance video as there is three rappers performing to the camera the whole time using direct address, with a few exeptions of pictures which have been edited in. Within the video there are various different locations used, this makes it musch more intresting and engaging to watch.
At points within this music video they match up the lyrics with the pictures that appear on screen, for example the picture of Helen of Troy, the use of pictures also adds to the humor element. We plan to use this technique within our music video. The music video also uses a different variety of the colour effects, an example of this would be the use of the colours green and yellow which are used many times through out the video, this technique also draws the veiwer in.

At the start of the video there is action being played on screen but with no music being played yet this is another technique in which we intend to do with our music video, as i think this technique would keep the veiwer almost hooked as they want to wait for what song it is and when it will begin.

Also within the music video there is lip sync, i think this is done very well considering they were lip singing the whole song, at times it goes out of sync, particually at the end. To avoid going out of sync in our video we plan to use only short clips of the performance part of the video and allow the rest to be just narrative. So within our music video editing process i feel that we need to spend alot of time to ensure we get the sync right.
