ANALYSIS OF ANOTHER A2 VIDEO - D GRADE (RESEARCH)

 This is an example of an A2 music video that I marked according to the following criteria and rewarded a D Grade;                        

This music video demonstrated a basic use of camerawork, mise en scene and editing, and for that reason I put it into the level 2 band, achieving a D grade at 21 out of 40 marks.

The video featured various inappropriate transitions between shots, which did not allow it to get out of level 2. It also had a low cut frequency accompanied by a frequent long shot duration, which lead to it looking boring and amateur.

The mise en scene in the video used was also basic, with the use of lighting creating clearly noticeable shadows on the actors and the acting giving the video yet again an unprofessional, unrealistic feel.

There was however a good variation in the shots used, with many different angles and size of framings, which made it an interesting watch and provided the video with some element of pace and action. Unfortunately the steadiness of the camerawork was not present to compliment the variety of shots.
