Post 4: Music videos continued

The first music video is by Sum 41 and the video is called walking disaster


Likes

Strong story

The use of toy robots in real life settings
Sympathy for the robot

The richness of colours provides warmth

The tracking shot across the town

Iconic shots of scenary

Good balance of band shots and story shots

The added dance sequence after song has finished

Dislikes

Nothing

The next video is by Green day and the video is called boulevard of broken dreams


Likes

Dark filter

Trashy effects

Marking on actual film

Use of green screen and real props create a sense of surealism

A car was used to capture the scenary put on the green screen.

The scenary itself is quite eary

Dislikes

Lack of a strong story however with certain elements it feels like a documentary which can is quite effective

Lack of events happening focusing mainly on scenary

The last video is by a band called Owl city and the video is called fireflies


likes

The lighting

The blue tinge

The use of toys and them actually playing a large part in the video

Also how they are alive provides quite a mysterious quality

Dislikes

Lack of story

Without the music the video wouldnt be very strong apart from the fact that without too much happening it looks pretty.

In the next post i will be doing the same thing and this shall go on for at least for another 3 posts
