Reviewing previous students music video

Previous students music videos

I really like Kelly, Jasmine and Yasmin’s music video because it is very interesting. I liked the slow motion that was done throughout the whole of the music video. I also like the scene where there are three people around the dining table. I think the slow motion on the nitrogen throughout the music video really contributed to the whole effect of the music video itself because the song seems in my opinion, airy, ‘fairy like’, and innocent and the way the nitrogen flowed whilst it was being reversed in slow motion I found that every effective. I also found effective the lighting that was used in that scene. However I was not fully amazed by the first scene when she is in bed, I felt that the lighting was too ‘strong’ and that it seemed in a way ‘fake’ and not real, even though it isn’t real. But the editing to that scene was well executed. 

I also think that the lip syncing was very good and the girl seemed to of known and ‘sang’ the song like it was her own, she made me believe it was hers. Some things which I think could of been improved is the camera work and the camera being steady. I am not too sure if the camera jerking quite a few times was meant to be like that but I kind of wanted to focus on whatever was in the frame but failed to do so because of how the camera was moving. I would have preferred if the camera was still but with some of the clips the jerking of the camera went with the movement of the video. The slow motion of the video really depicted what the song was about. But I must admit that I was more interested in the video rather than the song itself, I was more amazed with what was going on in the video as it really looked exciting.
