Video	Why
1.       13B6-Ike & Tina- Jamie T	I really like this video because first of all the lip singing is really good. It actually seems like he’s singing it. There are also very good camera shoots like the use of the hand to turn the camera around. There were very good locations and the cuts matched with the beats in the music. I thought that this video was very fun to watch and all the quick cuts made me engaged to keep watching it more. I thought the acting was really good as well.
2.       13E4- If you wanna- The vaccines	The person who is the actor his very good. He suits with the music and the lip singing is good here too. The way they represented him was really good. I really like the spilt screen they use near the end of the video. I thought that, it made it very more interesting. I also think that the storyline fits well with the music lyrics. There is some good panning of the camera as well. The lighting is also quite good in this music video.
3.       13A2- Life happens- Brandon & leah	This video to me was very realistic. The girl suited very well with the music and the video and made me actually feel that it was her own music video that they made. Her lip singing was good as well and there were some good camera shots. The storyline for this video goes well with the music also.
4.       13A3-Nine2five- The ordinary boys	I thought for this video the acting was really good and that it suited with the beat of the music. The lip singing was also quite good and there were lots of different locations which made it less boring. There were really good camera shots and editing in the beginning.
5.       13E7-12 Rounds- Jester	The lip singing, the rap was really good in this video and it suited the actor. There were quite good camera angles and close ups in the video but there is a lack of location which made it a bit boring for me to watch.
6.       13E6- Go in, Go hard- Angle	There are some good shots on top of the building. The lighting in this video is okay but is too the same. There are some good locations and some of the camera movements are good. The lip singing was okay but it wasn’t great.
7.       13E9- Today I cried- Professor green	The spilt screen in this music video was really good. The cuts matched the music in the beat and there were some good locations. There were also some good camera shots. He seemed like he was actually singing it. The random clips of a film are a bit strange and it doesn’t really make sense but it wasn’t as bad. The actor doesn’t really look into the camera.
8.       13A1- Sparks fly- Taylor swift	In the beginning there were good camera shots of the feet. There were some good shots and close ups but some shots didn’t really make sense and some were a bit confusing. There were some good editing going on but it was a bit boring because they didn’t have much of a range of edits. I also thought that the lip singing was quite bad; I think it looked too fake.
9.       13B1-Rewind- Paolo Nutini	The setting matched with the music video. There wasn’t much singing shown but the actor suited the role. There were too many long and medium shots. This made it boring for me to watch. The 2 girls at the end I really didn’t understand and it made me confused.
10.   13B3- What we started- J R Aquino	There is a good storyline and some good camera shots. The lip singing was bad but it went with the lyrics. I didn’t really understand the random London shot. But the bridge shot was quite good. It was a bit boring for me.
11.   13B4- Lost- Paper aeroplanes	There were some good locations and there some good shots in the beach. I thought that the lighting was really bad, It looked too dull and boring for me and it wasn’t really interesting. It was kind of just longing on the shot which made it more boring to watch.

 My own response.
How will you avoid these issues?

I will try and use a lot of different range and style of camera movements not just short, medium and long shots but other range of shots like a panning shot. I will also when we are doing this in a group, to pick an actor who is confident and who we think will match with the music well and that it suits the person. I would like to use a spilt shot in my music video as I find this very interesting. I think to use more quick shots and making the editing very quick and not dragging it on for too long will make less boring and more fun to watch. Also with the lighting, I will change the lighting for clips that may need the lighting changed either to more brighter or even more darker. I want to make sure our music video has a good storyline that fits with our chosen music and to use a range of locations and not just the same locations because that makes it boring for the viewer.
