After watching a student's video and deconstructing it thoroughly for my research, there are particular aspects of my music video that I focused on and how 'professional' these aspects were. I will go on to explain these aspects in further detail.
1. When watching this video, I found that the narrative has to suit the attitude of the song and have some relevance. I also learnt that the events that occur in the video need to be tied up at the end, and in the video that I deconstructed there wasn't a real conclusion, even though the narrative was clear and was suitable for the song that was chosen. I am going to make sure that in my video the narrative is clear and reflects the attitude of the song, and I will make sure that events will be concluded.
2. There also needs to be a good variety of camera shots, editing techniques and transitions, but to a certain extent, as I don't want to use anything that may be considered 'cheesy' or inappropriate (like an iris for example) and want my video to look as professional as possible.
3. Having said that, everything about my video needs to look as professional as possible. I want the camerawork to be well-controlled (although I am thinking about using some handheld shots, but needs to be controlled to a degree) and the images need to link with the music, which I think the student's video did quite well, although there were certain editing techniques and transitions that were sometimes over-used and some camera shots were held for a little too long.
4. I also think that mise en scene is important, which includes everything from setting to costumes. In the student video, the locations have been used to good effect, and add a gritty, 'real' element to the video, as she is not training in the best of facilities. I am also looking to film in 'rougher' areas, as I want my main character to come across as quite poor and reclusive from everybody else.
