2. Contrast between the events happening
Probably used with different layers in editing
The video has two different scenarios happening within it, one is
filmed during the day time, one at night, and he is wearing the
same clothing in both screens, which makes the viewer see that it is
maybe events happening earlier that day, then the same night.
There is a clear contrast throughout the video; the video in the day
consists of happy events, whereas the night time one shows the
opposite thing happening for example, the wedding and the
funeral. The camera follows him in the same way throughout the
whole of the video; this is kind of giving the idea that the video is
telling a story.
I like how the lyrics of the song help tell the story; it makes it seem
like there is something that happened during the day which made
the events change in the night time.
Charlie Simpson – Parachutes
3. Coldplay – Strawberry Swing
The video for Strawberry Swing is mostly animated, it appears as if it’s a chalk
drawing of a superhero story, and at the end we see him as a real person, but
although we see this it doesn’t seem as if it was real, but like he is just acting
out the story. The camera angles don’t change much through out the
video, yet it is still affective as you can see that it is telling a story. I like the
idea of using pictures and animation in my video, but not using it through out
the whole thing, just using it to tell parts of a story.
Chalk images changing to real life at the
end of the video.
The music video also starts off with the characters and images
being set up for the video, this is also giving more of an
impression that its telling a story.
4. I really like the way this video shows expectations vs.
Contrast of the two different cities links with
reality, I think it makes the video really effective, and it also
the lyrics – showing the place he would have
taken the girl he is singing about.
works well with the lyrics of the song.
Through out the video there is effective camera shots and
angles used – the screen shots above flick back to each other
quickly, which keeps the viewer watching the video as it
makes it interesting to see what's going to happen.
There are also many close ups of the artists face, showing his
emotions that suit the style of the song and the video.
