Drive to Thrill: with the video starting at night creates a
horror mode but is then changed when they leave the complex and find the car
keys. Once they find the keys, the mood is changed to an upbeat and teenage
groove while driving like teenagers with their newfound car. After driving fast
and drifting around corners, they hit a speedbump which makes a sound in the
trunk that’s causes the group the start worrying and grew curious to check.
When they checked the trunk, they are horrified of what they see that causes
all of them to either run away or stare on horror.
Always Watching: The video starting shows the main character
that has the urge to stalk his best friend, the technical elements of the video
gives off creepy vibes which gives the audience a feeling like there in the
short scene, with scary music also some good technical elements from the scene
were the close up shots, the cross cutting, and the low key lighting. I would
definitely take how they used the Low key lighting for my video.
The Blue Boar: they
start the opening with the main character walking with a fellow sister to check
up on potatoes, while the main character looks sad with the sound in the
background playing somber music. The main character then meets with their
mother for the mother to scold the main character for drawing in the garden
while the main character is lost her imagination walking next to the hedges
frustrated. she then wonders through the forest which l bg6n eads
to the riverbank where she breaks into song with the music being upbeat with a
hopeful tune. she then walks around the forest singing explaining why she
enjoys nature.
Video 4: In
this film, he excellently uses mise en scene to demonstrate the mysterious lab.
The use of smoke, dark lighting, and lab coat and equipment add depth to the
story. The general color of blue and grey was also a great option as it
properly compliments the dark lighting and smoky atmosphere. Clever use of
close ups to show the equipment and the process the seeming antagonist is
doing. The dramatic/mysterious background sound they chose wasn't bad, but I
feel like they could do better. The sound in general was very blank and bland.
There was a lot of quick straight cuts that were unnecessary. The ending could have
been a faded out also, but overall, it was a great scene.
Stalker: it starts off with the main character waking up in
their bed, then looks around to check her surroundings. the music then becomes
tense, and horror music begins to play which causes the audience to be in
suspense. after she looks around to make sure she's alone in her room, the
music returns to normal, and the main character relaxes. she then goes on to
continue her day at school, after the school day ends, she then proceeds to her
car which the music changes back to the horror theme. she then runs towards the
parking lot and rushes to get inside her car.
Video 6: Nostalgia

While watching this intro I saw few technical elements and
the whole video was confusing, poorly done, and messy. The whole media text was
mainly just a close up of either the old lady's face or of a painting and other
objects. The close up of the old lady also shows her cluelessness for what's
happening in the scene. We also see an insert of childhood objects and photos
showing her childhood and how she misses it, which is a not bad use of
technical elements. I also like the tilt at the start as it sets the mood of
just looking at the sky and thinking to yourself, "man where did the years
go?". The pan at the end is also unclear on what it provides to the media
text. Lastly the cuts seem sort of boring as all we see are plain cuts to the
next scenes.
Rise (Video 7): The video begins with a guy exiting his car
while wearing sportswear. He proceeds to go in his trunk to get a soccer ball
and a bag. It then cuts to him walking to the field with headphones and a hat
on. Afterwards it shows him dropping his gear and it starts a montage of him
doing soccer drills. The camera cuts away from the montage to a guy outside the
field watching the other guy playing soccer as if they know each other. Toward
the end of the montage, it shows the guy from the sidelines and the guy in
sports wear staring at each other with serious expressions on their faces. The
high key lighting from the start to the end of the montage helped the viewer
know that there was nothing bad or erie happening but when the camera shifts to
lower lighting when the soccer player was walking back to his car to see the
other guy waiting on him with a serious face.the viewer was compelled to understand
that the mood has shifted. This video could be improved if the guy outside the
field had more context.
Video 8: Dear
Lover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_bKQDg6fiI
This movie intro
is well made and has a bunch of technical elements that enhance the emotion of
the story. The most common being close ups showing the details of the character
face revealing their state of emotion. They used a wide shot as well to show the
main character being in a forest just sitting by a river. There's also a over
the shoulder shot showing her holding a flower, and observing its beauty. We
then see an aerial shot showing her begin throwing the flower, which leads to
an action cut of the flower landing in the water. This seen symbolizes her loss
and saddness. We next are presented with an eyeline match showing that her
girlfriend found her. Then we see some two shot scenes showing the 2 girls
talking their feeling out (this is after a flashback). In these scenes we see
their love for each other. Finally we see a close up of our main character's
hand while she writes some heartfelt letters to her girlfriend.
