Video Analysis

Example-Watch The Sun Come Up

I really like this video. It creates the atmosphere of the song and anchors the meaning of the song of the song and illustrates the words. However, the main thing I like is the use of animation over the top. It creates a really interesting effect and creates some create transitions between shots. It gives a seamless feel where it all runs together. It also anchors how he doesn't want to be at home and would rather be on this holiday, by being able to seamlessly cut between it makes it feel like they're being compared in his mind. I also like how the lighting goes with the mood of the song, as it starts off at night time but then towards the end where it gets more upbeat and the narrative becomes happier it becomes daytime and the shots work really well to show this with the use of sun reflections and glimmers of light from behind the characters and through trees. It creates the feeling of 'another day'/ a new day, which is what the song is saying the singer wants. I especially love 0:43-0:48. This is a great piece of editing where it completely changes location seamlessly and by him being in the same place seems to connote that he is there in London, but is dreaming he was there on the beach.
