Previous student video awards

In todays lesson at coleridge the first task which we had to do was look at a variety of previous college work music videos and nominate which ones we thought had the following:

Best male vocal - Powers
Best female vocal - I Don't want to see you
Best use of location - Back against the wall
Best camerawork - Back against the wall
Best editing - Powers
Most innovative concept - Powers
Wooden Spoon (worst video) - Fantastic six

The reasons why I nominated Powers as the best male vocal, best editing and most innovative concept is because in the video you see excellent lip synching when the rapper comes on, and it really takes off.In my opinion the editing at the beginning is really unique because i like the way they have four different shots in the same frame at the same time. They have really thought about this video very well, and what the song is talking about goes well with what is happening in the video.
The female vocals in 'I don't want to see you is quite good because the lip synching is in time, and they have used close-ups to show how well they have got the lips moving in time with the artist singing.
Back against the wall has a variety of locations including people in front of a wall with their back against it. They also have an office shot and a playground shot, but it is ironic because the little boy is in the office and the man is in the playground. Me and Sven both agreed that the camera work is very interesting as they have a variety of interesting shots.
Finally I chose that the 'Wooden Spoon' award (worst video) would go to Fantastic six as the lip synching wasn't in time, they didn't really use much camera shots, and the editing for me didn't work well.
