Analysis of Previous Student Work - "Addicted to Bass"

Good Points:

• Sped up shots of driving
  
• Lip Synching is spot on
  
• Layered shots showing same girl in different places at the same time
  
• The alter-ego type character, completely contrasting the protagonist
  

Bad Points:

• Not much variety in shot types
  

This video is narrative/performance based, with a lot of direct addressing of the camera. The lip synching is damn near perfect and the song fits perfectly with whats being seen on screen. Some quality has obviously been compromised for filming in the dark, but I don't think that the specific scenes would have worked during daylight, so there wasn't much they could do. I felt that the video could have probably done without the scene with the white and her tied up, it just didn't feel relevant. At some positions the lighting has affected the shot, for instance where the glare of the lamp posts make some of the scenes don't seem to have come out very well. Another thing I think is where she is sitting in the car, which I think is kind of irrelevant.

Overall, the video is quite dark, which is something we are completely avoiding with our music video, as we hope for ours to be a happy, sunshine, loved up film.
