Other Music Videos

A2 Media music videos for Merry Happy by other students:

We looked at these videos made by other A2 Media students to get ideas for our own and see what they have done. From looking at these videos, we realised what would work and what doesn't look good or professional.

In this video we liked the way they used different angles to film the shots.(High Angle, Straight, Over The Shoulder). We chose to copy the idea of stop motion as the cheese on toast is eaten and the paper is unravelled, as we realised this was a key feature in Kate Nash videos. We didn't like the use of a negative on some of the shots in the video as it didn't reflect Kate Nash's style. Also, they didn't think their locations through properly as in parts of the video they have set it in their college which wouldn't happen in a Kate Nash video.

In this video we liked how it started off with her playing the piano and the camera only showing her hands. As this idea was used in Kate Nash's Mouthwash video. We decided not to use this as we didn't want to copy the video exactly as her other ones have been made. The way they made the character of Kate have the dress style of her and made her look like Kate Nash is really good as makes it a more believable music video. We didn't like how the lip sync was off in parts of the video as it looks unprofessional.  Also sometimes the video is too literally following the lyrics which makes it hard to watch and boring.
