Past Student Video Analysis

Student Music Video 1: This House Is A Circus


 This is a very impressive music video. It seamlessly combines a convincing performance and an interesting narrative, balancing them perfectly throughout the video. This is what I am hoping to achieve in my music video. I have taken inspiration from this video, such as the idea of combining the narrative and performance in the video. It also has a very interesting, unique concept behind it that makes it compelling to watch.

Student Music Video 2: Party In A Forest (Where's Laura?)


 This is an average music video. On the plus side, it does include a solid performance, if the syncing is a little off sometimes, and the location fits with the songs lyrics. However, the narrative side of the video is a bit of a mess. The narrative is not clear, and, without an explanation as to what is happening, makes no sense. It should be made clear that the guinea pigs at the end are meant to be wombats, thus fitting with the name of the  band. This is not made clear, neither is the fact that the lead singer and the female lead are meant to be these wombats. Again, the reason for this is not explained, and makes for a confusing video.
