What I like to see in a music video- Andrea

What I like to see in a music video  

 In my opinion, I like to see people having fun and a story in a music video. I like videos that have quirky or different aspects to them an example of one of my favourite music videos would be ‘Prayer In C’ Lily Wood, The Prick and Robin Schulz.  I like the use of makeup, which is sugar skulls painted onto the people’s faces. The costume is also different and somewhat hipster as they wear smart clothes, but brightly coloured flowers, women wearing flower crowns and men wearing flowers on their blazers.  

 

The people in the video are all having a good time and I think this helps make a massive difference on the emotions of a song and the video. Most of them are riding bikes, skateboards or are in open top cars. I think the video creates a real summer scene and this song will be what people will want to listen to in the summertime, partly because of it. 

I also like the artsy use of the camera, filming when the people are putting on their costume and make up, this could show how they aren’t anyone special and are just normal people going out on the road and having a good time. I also like some of the shots they take like two people kissing on a bike, a girl sat at the front on the handles kissing the man steering it. 

 

I would like to include some ‘artsy ‘shots like these. Our group have discussed using balloons and as the lead singer is singing and having them in the background, I think a close up of them would be a good idea and is similar to some of the shots in this music video. I think if we used the right lighting and we slowed the shot down a little, it would have potential to be a good scene.
