Music Videos 2006

camera/editing/setting/performance/genre conventions

We noticed that the group had only used mid-shots and long shot, there were no close- ups or use of tracking/panning to interest the viewer, so it became boring seeing the same shots again and again.
The use of green screen is very effective as they had cut out the image of the main singer very well so it looked convincing to the viewer and makes the video more interesting because it has been placed on top of the rest of the video.
The settings are very basic, they have used different houses and rooms, which, although seems boring works with the theme of the song and the lyrics.
The acting was not that good but it also worked with the theme of the song and made it more comical to watch, the use of different costumes was also effective as it shows the different stereotypes within the video.
The genre of this video is comedy/rap/pop. This is shown through the 'cheezyness" of the video.
