My review of a previous student music video

                                         My review.

I was particularly impressed with the following student video because i felt as though the group accurately captured the conventions of the indie pop genres music videos, which is usually quite simplistic and bare in order to focus on the craft, talent and lyrics. However i was also happy to see that they had introduced their own flare and added some eye-catching and obvious edits at the same time.

There were certain parts about this music video that interested me:
                                 
       I thought this worked really well as an opening because the close up introduces the performer, which already makes it personal for the viewer and is quite striking. As you can see the lighting is really dark, which creates a mysterious feel.
                           
  Here they used a projector in order to create this effect, and it looks really professional and simple yet well thought out as this images being displayed in the background are of nature and wolves which links with the rest of the music video and locations used.
 
I especially liked the groups adventurous and frequent use of various shot types such as this one which is a high angle shot of the performer/narrator. I feel that this relates to the viewer her vulnerability.
