A2 music videos

                                                   A2 "Let It Go" (A-Grade)

Whilst doing research for ideas for our own music video we stumbled across this A2 piece of coursework that students like ourselves have created for their own project. The reason this one stuck out to us is mainly because of how well constructed it is. Every detail has been taken into consideration when creating this music video, from the costume to location to the main actor used. The person acting as the artist within the music video fits the typical genre and it could almost be believed that he actually wrote and sang the song himself-its convincing. This may be a technique we try to mirror within our own project.

The second video we came across was different to the first as it used more of a narrative in order for the audience to connect with the song. What made this music video so interesting was its use of camera shots. There was a shot within the first minute of the song that was angled from the cameras point of view focusing in on a mirror to show the main character lying on the bed. This was an interesting shot because although it was a simple technique it was very effective making it easier for the audience to gain a sympathetic connection with the character.

Finally, we came across this music video which we couldn't help but love due to its narrative, camera angles and use of Amplifying. Although this style of music video is some what "typical" for its song nature, that's what made it so good and outstanding. The imagery within this piece mirrors the lyrics to the song really well and really guides the audience throughout watching it. Its not hard to mis-understand it and it consists of the key elements such as performance, narrative and perhaps a slight bit of montage as it notifies the audience why she is in the position she ends up in. What we will most remember to take from this video will be to get the narrative across to the audience successfully whilst also imprinting on them to make it hard for them to stop thinking about even long after they have finished watching it.
