2. The intro
Within the first 30 seconds or so we can already see that this music
video is going to be good. With the effects that create a sense of
mysterious it makes the music video have a sense of thriller.
Within the first 30 seconds we can also see that their are various
different types of editing going on. With the simple cuts to the
cuts that blur in these type of editing techniques allow the music
video to continue the mysterious type of theme. We can also see
the colour match within the music video. The actor is dressed in
black and the location is also in dark colours.
3. The next 1 minute
What happens next is something that I really like within this
music video. Firstly, the change of location is seen more and that
there are only 2 locations within the whole of the music video
(easy and simple) but also the range of different camera
movements. We see the most common movement such as a
close up which is greatly use; but we also see track in and out as
well as a pan. This allows to build tense and to continue the
mysterious feature. I also like the fact that the actress is the
main focus. We can see from the picture below that the actress
is the main focus. This is because that the background is blurred
out and she is the only one in focus.
4. The 2 minute mark
Up two the 2 minute mark the music video has
been very good. We have seen various different
camera movements and different types of editing.
The music video continues the sense of
mysterious by having the actress in dark places
and close ups. We can see below that a long shot
is taking place. This gives us a rough idea of
where the location is.
5. To the end of the music video
After the 2 minute mark the music video
continues to produce the sense of mysterious and
includes the variety of different camera
movements and editing. The effects of smoke
become even more visible and even covers the
actress at one point. In my opinion this music
video in some cases does become a bit
repetitive. This would be due to the simple
locations. However I would still say it is one of the
best music videos I have seen produced by a
student.
