1. Insert shot
I think that the editing at the beginning of this video has been thought about, as the
colours used during the dissolve look effective and do create a meaning that is
apparent to the viewer because the variety of colours that are used compliment the
band's name, 'the colours.' This supports my decision of placing this music video in
level 2 because this is an appropriate use of shot transitions. Even though I think
that this part of the video is edited well, some other transitions throughout are not
as strong. For example, I think that the performance element of this music video is a
lot stronger than the narrative.

2. Long shot
I have decided to place this
video in level 2 because even
though there are some variety
of shots, the shot of the actor
running appears frequently
throughout the video and it is
always an image of him running
with his back towards the
camera, not showing much
variation in shots, for example,
more shots of his feet or him
running towards the camera
could look effective. I also think
that there is little control over
the camera because the camera
does not do much movement
and sometimes the shots aren't
completely steady. For example,
in this shot of the love interest’s
body, the camera pans up to
her neck with shaky
movements that do not look
effective or purposeful.

3. Hand held shot
I think that this hand held shot is quite effective because the image is disjointed
showing that the actor is running. However I don't think that there is much attention
to framing because the setting in the frame does not have much relevance to the
video. Also, the video implies that he is running away from/after a girl, and she is not
shown is this shot so it is unclear what he is actually running towards.
