I really enjoyed the edits and how it mirrored the original song's video, but definitely make sure your lighting is consistent. This could be an experimental risk you took with the cinematography of it, but that's difficult to tell from an outsider's perspective who may not understand the music video's parody. It would definitely connect better with audiences who listen to your radio show, as outsiders might not "get it," if that makes sense. Otherwise, fun idea that's engaging and humorous.
  • 2/21 1:27 pm - This music video impresses with its strong color concept and effective storytelling in the beginning, laying a solid foundation for the narrative to unfold. The use of parody as a promotional tool to engage the audience is a clever and innovative approach, adding an extra layer of intrigue and entertainment value. However, there are areas where the pacing and edits could be refined for a smoother viewing experience. Additionally, the harsh lighting in certain scenes detracts from the overall visual impact, creating distractions that take away from the storytelling. A suggestion to address this issue would be to experiment with lighting angles, such as having the light shine down on the subject to create a foreboding atmosphere and add depth to the character portrayal. This approach could enhance the mood of the video and contribute to a more immersive viewing experience. Overall, this music video showcases creativity and ingenuity in its concept and execution. With some adjustments to pacing, edits, and lighting techniques, it has the potential to become an even more compelling and impactful piece of visual storytelling.
