Review of previous students work (research)

My group has choosen to film our video in fairly plain locations and jazz it up with lots of editing. The reason we have choosen to do this is because it fits the alternative/ dance genre of our music. When looking through previous videos A2 students have done there was one that was very similar to what we are looking to do. This was a video done last year to the song 'Bum like you'. It was very helpful to get a chance to look at the video because we could analyse what went well and what didnt work so well.

The aspects of the video I liked were:

• The side shots of the girl in the tunnel which was almost so dark it was just her siloutte with one side of her features showing..
• The shots where they had had edited the colouring making it very light, pink or blue.
• The shots where they had used editing to make multiple shots appear on the screen in a grid like manner or reflected one shot to make the singer look like she was singing to herself.

The aspects of the video which I will try to improve on:

• Filming with not enough light
• Keeping the colour schemes correct throughout to ensure shots do not stand out and look out of place.
• Making sure we have a large variety of angels and different edits on shots
• Using a actress that is willing to perform
