Most effective and Least effective of the edited stills

There are different types of genre in s music video. They are: performance, narrative and image.  The stills from the video, I have chosen what the most effective video effect that can be used in a certain genre.

Most Effective

Performance

For performance, I have used split effect so that it can show different musicians playing at the same time. In the still, we can see the person on the top right is playing the piano and the person on the left is singing. Audience can see clearly that they are performing and show their individual talent.

Narrative

I have chosen this still be the most effective for a narrative genre. The still shows a close up of three teenagers having there tea break and I have used a title to identify what they are doing and what it is going to be about “tea time ft. Vince’s lip.” In a music video a title would show the name of the song which may help the audience what the music video is going to be about.

Image

I have chosen to use a close up on the face which shows the person facial features and the eye line match of the person is looking straight to the camera which connotes that he is looking at you and also you can see the facial features of the person. I used a black and white filter to focus on his face, the hair colour is dark so his face will stand out. I think this is an effective effect for this genre because his black hair contrasts with his face so it stands out.

Least Effective

Performance

The least effective effect for a performance genre is this still. This is because the effect on the person which is called dazzle is too much and takes over the picture. Also the brightness on the white is too high and makes the desaturation effect even worse. We can't see the person very clearly because of the dazzle effect and it puts away the focus on the artist.

Narrative

The least effective effect for a narrative genre is from this still. The desaturation effect can be used for narrative purposes which will present the past. This means that this effect can be only used if the narrative is about the past and can't be used in the present as it can confuse the audience.

Image

The least effective effect for a image genre is from this still. The writing doesn't have  a good effect because it distracts the audience attention.
