PowerPoint Presentation

JP1.pngJP2.pngA second mid shot is included, but this time at a side view, this is good as is allows the audience to see the drummer who is situated at the back of the stage.

The lighting for the location is well designed, as it is not too bright nor dim, and the colors surrounding the band lead to an authentic looking performance.

The video starts with a simplistic mid shot of the band, displaying all 4 members. This is pretty common for rock conventions.

JP3.pngJP4.pngJP5.pngJP6.pngNext we are shown a close up of the vocalist and then each of the instruments that the other members are playing. In some cases, the actual members will be given close ups but this depends on the bands style.

Each shot is very clear and well focused which overall makes the video look more aesthetically pleasing.

JP7.pngJP8.pngThis type of POV/close up shot is impressive as it goes against the common conventions of a music video, however it still fits and is very innovative.

This simple mid shot is combined with the use of a low angle shot, a simple adaptation of angle can completely change the view of a scene allowing for slight more creativity to keep the audience more entertained.

JP9.pngJP10.pngJP11.pngWe are introduced to a new character part way through the video (0:40). The mid shot is good and not too much space has been left surrounding him so the focus on the character is clear. As well as this, the lighting is also very good.

This scene is interesting as they combine both performance and narrative into the same shot. This also is not something conventional but it is very creative and works well. The only downside is the narrative isn't very clear.

The video ends with the performance becoming part of the narrative when they see the narrative character watching their performance. This still makes for a creative video, and I feel the creativity of the combination overlooks the confusing way in which the characters are involved together.

Evaluation (www/EBi)

WWW - The performance was very good as well as the connection of the narrative, there were a good variety of shot types, including multiple camera movements. The lighting really stood out and the effort of mise en scene could be seen due to the placement of props such as the stage and backing lights.

ebi - It would have been better if the narrative was clearer, however the concept is still good. Lastly, syncing could have been checked for some of the drumming sections and a crash symbol could have been used.
