Research into Past Students Work

We were originally going to use the song 'Rough Cut' but Amber Rubarth, however after noticing past students had used this song we decided to study theirs and then reach a decision;


Positive of the video;

• The dissolves which were used in the music video are very effective and the fades work well
• The narrative of the music video links very well with the lyrics of the song, and the video mirrors the words
• Some effects from final cut express are used effectively

Negatives of the music video;

• Some of the shots seemed off putting as although the camera angle seemed straight the background of the shot was not a flat surface and the horizon was often slanted
• There were not as many close up lip synching shots as what we would have expected for a music video
• The opening sequence didn't seem strong enough to fit the music, It seemed emotionless
