I really like the narrative elements you decided to include in order to relate to a student audience. One suggestion I would make are some of the more technical changes to your editing, especially as the song kicks in around the chorus. I feel like the shots are similar when the guitars kick in as they are when the acoustic and softer parts come back in. I can tell you tried this, but it would really add some more to your narrative. The dog was a funny inclusion as well, and I loved the security camera footage spliced in as a nice voyeuristic touch. Excellent work, and keep up the nice work!
- 2/21 1:00 pm - This music video effectively captures the essence of a day in the life of a teenage girl, depicting the struggles and challenges she faces with authenticity and empathy. The storytelling is poignant and relatable, offering viewers a glimpse into the complexities of adolescence. To further enhance the impact of the video, one suggestion would be to align the pacing of the editing with the tempo of the music. When the tempo increases, the action and editing should mirror this escalation, intensifying the frenetic energy portrayed on screen. Incorporating a more handheld feel with faster panning could add a sense of urgency and immediacy, heightening the emotional intensity of the narrative. Overall, this music video is a compelling exploration of the teenage experience, showcasing both the joys and tribulations of youth. With some adjustments to the editing and cinematography, it has the potential to elevate its impact even further, resonating more deeply with audiences.
