Past Students' Videos

Below is a past students video that previously studied media at our sixth form.



What really catches my attention in this video is the location, mise en scene and the editing. The location has bright lights in the background which makes it eye catching and draws the audiences attention into the song. The mise en scene also is design well as the two girls hold a lollipop, the costumes of the actors in the video also suit the song and the performances of each actor really helps make the video interesting and pleasurable.   Also the editing is cut to the beat well especially with the rewinded clips when the two girls are walking and when the frame shakes when the girls sang 'pop'. The lip sync is generally done well, although there is one scene where the Chinese actor could have performed with more emphasis.

Overall I really liked this video and enjoyed watching it and will be using ideas from this video to help me in my own music video production.

Past student music video



This video is very effective due to the simple plain background and props used, yet it is a successful video due to the performance which really entices the audience. The music video is mainly filmed in the small room which is nicely lit. I think this is very effective and well done by the student. Below are some screen grabs which I really liked and which would help me in my own production.
