RESEARCH- Favourite student music video

Favourite previous student work

My favourite previous student music video is created my Jem, Zakariya, Courtney and Fuzali. Their music video targeted audience is for males aged 18+. The Genre is Indie music.

I mainly liked the structure of the music video. The use of mise en scene and location combined was very effective. Their was 4 locations where the video was set; The roof top, In front of a fountain, In front of a statue and in the park. The thing I liked about the use of location is that they kept it simple and also throughout the whole video they were at the approximate distance from the camera in all four locations. The costume contrasted with the location. They wore a suite in the rooftop, which looked like it was in an estate. In front of the fountain they were pyjamas, In front of the statue they were tracksuit bottoms and a hoody and lastly in the park they both were a shirt and trousers.


 


The use of editing was simple but effective. They used a lot of jump cuts that went in rhythm with the music, the jump cuts was used to establish each location. During the end there was a great use of split screen, showing all four locations next to each other. The main prop that they used in the video was the guitar, the guitar was used in all four locations by the two main characters.

This music video was very simple and had no storyline however what I found interesting was during the beginning it was slightly following the lyrics, when he said "And she spoke words of wisdom" it shows a clip of the girl whispering in his ears.
