2. Effects made it interesting I liked how the shots cut to one another in time with the music notes Sometimes I though that there was too long takes on the lava and when they played the instruments Props were effective e.g. balloons helped understand the narrative Overall very interesting with effects Really interesting editing, experimental almost-loved the balloons shot Disliked the random clips shot with all the disco balls Really cool tho Good use of colour overlapping and colour Changes in time e.g. slow motion and speeding up of the ink in the water, worked really well Some of the shots seemed a bit too slow compared with the music but most were on time and sat perfectly Colour changed with music nice The changes with balloons and the disco balls, nice I think some shot lengths could be cut down some are too long The use of colour in general was very effective!
3. Better than ours, much, much, much better than ours. Good use of colour Got a tad bit bored of the drop but the mirror ball worked I think the parts with the girl could have been longer and more dominant Girls hands on the piano…all male band.. Good narrative you could tell what the story was Good mis-en-scene. I liked how it all went together Balloons-mirror…colour Think it was really creative considering the band are a bunch of useless lumps who can’t be bothered to be in their own video. You had to work with nothing and you pulled it off. At the end the clips that match the music fits well The effects of the liquids are really well done but I’m not sure if they fit in with the structure- although parts of the story shown is clear - shows good creativity Lighting effects are good- shows a lot of time taken Very effective use of colour and light – random Video fit very well with music- narrative structure Props used very well – balloons etc May be seen as a bit “too” random, hard to follow, but then again fits with music perfectly Very entropic, but you can tell a lot of research went in to it for editing and sue of colour and light
4. Accurate instruments – good Good sue of colour- bright and happy Mis-en-scene of prom, mirror ball etc Slow editing good change of pace for slow solo bit Cool ink and lava lamp effects Wasn’t sure who Dave was supposed to be. I thought at first he was annoyed cuz she was late but was he a jealous ex or something? Not very clear narrative structure Rubbish Sound! =] Seems quite entropic not to have the actor singing. May have been nice However, looks great. Love the use of colour and the change of colour between each beat Nice Effect of lighting also with the overlap of clips and also the disco ball Nice mis-en-scene of appropriate props also Shot transitions use the beat of the music well Shot of instruments are authenticity – typical genre of music Narrative works well –boy meets girl – girl getting ready Plus mis-en-scene when walking down stairs is good – as music changes, location does too Lots going on at the beginning not sure what’s going on, but is clear after a little while Colour changing guitar is amazing A few too many disco balls- the overlapping isn’t great The ink in water is brilliantly done Ending montage during “love you babe” is good editing Balloons popping up on each beat are cleverly done, as is the guy throwing the balloons down at the end, further good editing Good sue of colour through out, maybe a little bit move on the prom girl would have been even better.
6. Abigail Rhodes – 23 - Chef Video Most peculiar (in a good way!) Don't really understand. Was a girl getting ready to go somewhere, and then ended up going to prom? Maybe should have been a bit more of a story Loved the lots of colour, and the weird disco balls Digi Pak Good Bright colourful and very eye catching Title needs to be a brighter colour, not as obvious against balloons Mag Ad Looks printed (like potato printing) Seems a bit white, and young Should have used the guitars for the magazine, cuz they looked awesome and would incorporate better. You’d know which CD to look for after seeing the advert
7. Sam Lloyd – 21 – Plasterer/Barman Very good Liked the filming of the clips The effects were great Not sure it was very approprate to the song, and lyrics Ancillary Like colours Guitars are wicked Ad’s a little bit girly, but good though Looks a little bit like a kids birthday party, maybe should be black to appeal to a more mature audience
