What makes a good music video.

When looking at music videos from previous years, we found that some of their tecnuiques used made the music video effective. We also looked at music videos by artists and saw what made the music video so effective.

• Mainly in one location which relates to the song.
• Small variety of effects but enough to make the video exciting. 
• Good variety of camera shots/movement to create an effective video. 
• Good choreography, in time with the music. 
• Good lip-syncing also in time with the music. 
• Short and simple narratives to make the video easy to understand and watch. 
• Natural, realistic and creative scenes. 
• Music artist attracts the right audiences. 
• Artist shows believable performance, high energy and emotion relating to the song. 
• Cut between narrative and main performance.
• Performance and narrative all in one place.
