A good music video: includes a wide range of visual and technical elements in order to be sucessful.
they should include things like : excellent use of camera angles
effective and professional handling of lighting
lip-syncing and playing of instruments perfectly in time with
the original music video
well thought out choice of costume and props where appropriate
a steady and well held shot
a convincing and energetic performance
A bad music video: shows poor and shaky use of the camera
little thought in regards to camera shots
lip-syncing or any playing of instruments looks poor and out of sync with original track
little thought into choice of costumes or use of props
there is little or no use of proper lighting
an unconvincing or unbelievable performance
below is november rain by guns n roses. a music video in which I feel demonstrates all the explained quality's of a good piece
right is a shot from the video that I like as I feel
it demonstrates a good use of camera.
right is a shot that I like most as it demonstrates usage of good lighting a well framed shot and a convincing performance. it also shows a well thought out approach to costume.
I like the shot to the right as its a nicely used prop
that has been placed and framed well to assist in
explaining the story to the audience.
I like this shot at the bottom as its a well lit and well chosen choice of scenery that helps illustrate the
genre of the song.
