3. Construction
• This is a performance video with a very big twist as it they are performing on a
screen that has been projected onto some trees in a forest. This requires a lot of
skill and would be very hard to pull off
• This video had a very good mise en scene and there was a very unique concept to
this video.
• The camera work is relatively straight forward as it is just shot at the screen in the
forest the whole time, the only changes to the camerawork would be the
positioning and angle changes.
• The framing is quite interesting in this video as it is hard to see what’s going on
due to the flashing lights and how it is projected on screen.
4. Commercial Imperative
• Indie and quirky song, the target audience is used to that originality
and niche style of video.
• Could argue that some people who listen to this type of music often
go to raves and take drugs, this video applies to them as it is quite a
trippy video.
5. Research and Planning
• The research and planning for this video must have been very good
and was likely very detailed since this is such a unique idea. They also
would have had to find this location which may have taken a bit of
time and planning so that they could get the effect right.
6. Final Opinion
• I think that this video has a very unique idea which I have never seen
before, this gives it an advantage over other videos due to it’s
originality.
• However, it Is very repetitive as it is literally the same thing the whole
way through, this makes the video quite boring to watch and doesn’t
encourage you to view the video multiple times.
