Look for the 2011 Music Vids playlist on their channel (at least one is blocked on copyright grounds)
Interesting to look at, and there are vids which touch on aspects each of you are working on
The sheer confidence and assurance of the performers generally stands out and is a significant plus, as is the evidence of lighting rigs; the strength of the female performers, and how they handle erotic signifiers without crossing a line is particularly striking. On the other hand, there is some shaky camerawork; some nice ideas not so well executed; some unfortunate casting; some perf footage which is clearly not synched to the track, and generally some editing which could be tighter and better paced.
I think we're well placed to generally do better, and they're a very, very strong centre with a superb track record for slick, prize-winning productions! Have a look and see what you think, and let me know if you want me to play back any and discuss in class - there are plenty of other finished vids out there; many schools submit their A2 coursework for January
View Hurtwoodhouse vids
Google "a2 music video" and you'll find many more - select 'in last month' for 2011-12 vids and blogs. I spotted a Muse vid in there - I'm sure there'll be more of your choices with other Media student vids out there...
