Last years music video analysis

Today we watched some of the previous music videos made by the last year 13, we chose to watch a variety of music videos to see the different styles in each genre and understand  what techniques were used to create their final video. Below I have ranked the music videos that we watched:

What have I learnt?
Watching the previous years music videos i have realized that there were some aspects to filming a music video that need to be done well in order for it to look professional, firstly some of the videos had really bad quality filming which brought down the video, secondly the use of a story line wasn't very effective as i feel it made the video look unprofessional and cheesy. Lastly some of the transitions and special effects were done to a poor standard making the video lack in excitement and look cheap. In contrast the majority of the music videos had good lip syncing which was perfectly in time, secondly most of the outside locations looked very effective as the natural lighting really compliment the filming. Lastly the range of shots were good in most of the videos which helped to add excitement and look visually appealing.
