Analysis of another student video

The first thing I really like about this music video is the group dancing shots in the street because of the way they are all in the same clothes and doing the same dance. It fits in with the genre of the song and the tempo of the music really well. These group dancing shots are also full of different camera angles, so it keeps the audience interested in the music video. I also like how this video is full of performance shots of the singer in all different locations as again, it fits in with the genre of the song itself. This music video is also full of cutaways, for example at about 2 minutes 59 seconds, there is a cutaway of the performers feet as she plays the piano. I think cutaways like this keep the video interesting, and I will probably use cutaways in my music video. There are also some interesting shots used like slow motion, when the glass is smashed on the floor, I think this is a really good idea because it shows frustration well and you can really understand how the actor is feeling. One thing that I am not very keen on is the black and white all the way through the video, because it's slightly dull and in my opinion, adding a little bit of colour in might have made the video that little bit better. Finally, I really like the range of shots from about 3 minutes 45 seconds onwards because they swap from slow motion (of her in the bath) to shots of the dancers, and I think the slightly quicker paced shots add a really good effect to the over all music video.
