Research for Music video- Favourite student video

Previous student work

We looked at different examples of  past student work. We saw some really good music videos but other that not so good. I think this lesson was useful as we were able to get a better idea of how to do our music video. We now know what we should do and not to do in order to make a good music video.
Here's a video that I really liked: 

I thought this video was very creative in using the motif of the colour red. The red holds connotations of love which is what the song is about. The video does not illustrate the lyrics of the song but it amplifies the whole meaning. When viewing this video, I was inspired to do something similar as I think it's very creative.
The shots are also very varied and follow the beat of the song this makes the video a lot more effective
close up shot

Close up- low angle

Mid shot

Extreme close up
Looking at this video I was also inspired to use a variety of shots as it makes the video a lot more interesting to watch. The close up shots usually appear when the pace of the music is faster which is very effective.
