Sia-Im In Here 8

I like how original the setting is since you usually wouldn't think of an airplane as a theme for a music video.  Through the whole film she is gazing out a window sitting in a plane seat. She moves very little in the film and doesn't even lip sync to the song. There are clear and repeating patterns with the angles of shots throughout the video. There are close up shots every time they show Sia and pan shots when showing the cloud. Lighting that shows as almost a spotlight for her face is always the same in every clip.

Sia-Soon We'll Be Found 7

This music video is for the song "Soon We'll Be found" sung by Sia. The beginning starts out with her mouthing the song lyrics while doing sign language. Theres a spotlight on her in a dark room before its lightened so you can see people on her left and right mimicking her same movements. Like her they all have painted color on there hands which stood out with the solid color from there clothes. I thought this video was interesting because it was similar to a performance on a stage since they stayed in the same place and setting throughout the whole film.

Atmosphere-Became Film review 6

I thought this was a very visually interesting music video with a lot of interesting patterns, symbols and colors through out. Most of it it black and white with silhouettes of youth and nature. There was also a lot of texts from the lyrics that they showed in different creative ways. Red was one of the only other colors  in the images which makes me wonder what it represented.  Another color that appeared was orange which was from the jumpsuits that the teenagers were wearing.  The rap seemed to be a lot about struggle and I think the darkness of this video represented that well.

Review 5 Lily Allen-Littlest Things

This black and white video  really fit the message of her song in the way that it had a gloomy feel to it. I also noticed there were a lot of geometric shapes throughout the clips with white light coming through them which seemed to represent the windows of a building. Straight lines and preciseness seemed to be a big part of this video by how things moved across the screen in a very controlled and exact way. Also the faces of the actors were blank and expressionless which made them seem robotic. I thought it was creative how they showed the shadows on the geometric shapes and you could see the silhouettes of different couples.

Review 4 Dancing liten-Miss Li

This music video was very simple and was shot in only one room. It showed a cluster of musicians in one corner with their instruments while the singer Miss Li was set more in the middle while playing a key board. To keep it interesting they had shots from many different angles going from one to another at a very fast pace. The shots included half shots, full shots, pans, worms eye and birds eye view. I thought the part in the beginning where it started in black and white then changed to color on the first beat was a nice touch because it showed how music can make things come more alive.

Review 3 The Truman Show

This film touched on a lot of issues in media and how far television might go to entertain there viewers. There were parts where they showed people watching from there homes, work and bars and it was suprising how no one questioned the theme of the show or how it might affect Truman. This was expressing how shallow people can become while watching tv and that viewers tend to be less empathetic towards things while watching it on a screen.  I was impressed by how they portrayed Trumans world that was actually a set. Especially during the scene where he started to noticed the patterns in his everyday life.
