Previous Students Work

This music video is done by previous students in 2008 and uses the song 'For the girl' by The Fratellis.


Strengths:
- I liked the way they used a variety of colours throughout the video to represent different parts. The performance was black and white, the narrative was normal and the 'La la la la's' parts were often in bright colours with cut on beat footage.
- They had a range of camera angles including some interesting ones. (Eg.- Following a dart and the bottom of the bin).
- The drawings were good and showed good use of technology as they may have used iStop Motion to do it.

Weaknesses:
- It was a narrative and performance based music video, however I think the narrative parts could have cut on beat better.
- They could also have had better cutting at the beginning of clips. For example cutting at the beginning would make some clips look more realistic, as in some its clear the actors have just started, for example, walking.

I personally really enjoyed the performance sections as they looked quite professional and different (The setting being toilets). They had good camera work here as it was tilted which gave it a cool effect. I would have therefore used more of the performance footage within this music video.
