Old Student work

Camera Work - The use of the camera works well with the video because of the way in which the focus of the video, being the band and the lighting is presented. The shots are mainly Mid-shots and a couple of close-ups but the angle that is used is mainly a low angle looking upwards at the band.

Editing - The editing is impressive because they have used cuts and fades which work very well because they blend the two odifferent locations and the two different parts of the music video used the editing. The transitions used also make the video seem quite 'trippy' and match the background of where the band arre performing.

Setting - The setting is practically hidden from the audience and all we get to see is the band and another male who seems to be stuck in a lost location. The setting is not really used in this music video but the setting does make the band stand out and look irregular.

Performance - I think that the performance of the band was average, however the main weakness of the music video was the lip syncing because there were not enough shots of them singing.

Genre conventions - I think that the group probably met the genre conventions that they set out to achieve. They did this by the costumes used, the stereotypical long black hair, the contrast between the black and white colours and a different narrative.
