Analysis of previous student work

As a group that this music video was very impressive and would say this was also one of our inspirations of making our own music video in accordance to the use of over exposing, which is what we used for our own music video. I thought that the use of the words spelt out on the fridge with fridge magnets was a cool quirky way of showing the words of the song, also the use of the pictures of the main star on the fridge was a good way of the music video seem like real life, as people usually stick pictures of themselves up on fridges, this also shows the work that they had to apart from filming e.g taking pictures to put onto the fridge. The fact that they also have a main star singing in front of a white background shows that they have researched the codes and conventions of a pop/indie music video which this song seems to be. The narrative of the music video is very clever, I love the thought that throughout the whole music video the girl is waiting for her loved one to return to her, whilst trying to pass the time she is playing several different games, which links to out music video of playing with toys and games.

The use of balloons towards the end of the music video is a fun way of subliminally showing that it was near the end of of the video. There is also a good shot of the star laying in the balloons which is seen heavily in music videos were the main star is seen laying in a bed of sweets, diamonds etc. At the end of the music video as the door opens and the main star looks out of the window this is a good in conclusive finish which keeps the audience thinking about whether or not the person who opened the door is the person she has been waiting for, we as a viewer feel like we are on a journey with the main star.
