Final Cut Feedback

Goodwins Points - The lyrics matched the visuals which was good as the song has a strong meaning.
                           - There was no intertextuality but this did not matter as the song is not commercial.
                           - The music did not match the visuals although the cuts were in time with the music.
                           - The genre chracteristics were there as the video showed the artist a lot.
                           - We saw the artist through a camera style showing which worked for the song.

Mise - en - scene - The costumes were basic which was good as it gave a natural feeling to the video. The locations were romantic and as a result matched with the lyrics. The lighting was effective as it created a ghostly feel. To improve, there could have been more extreme acting like when the male character violently chucks a rock off the bridge. The props were varied which was good but maybe too many were used.

Editing - The editing was effective as it was clear and natural but gav a ghostly feel. However there could have been more cuts as some shots were a little bit too long.

Camera work- The camera work was good as there was a variety of shots so the viewer did not get bored. Good use of extreme long shots and close ups, however some clips were too long.

The overall idea was effective and the acting was convincing. To improve, the artist could have been as emotional as the couple but apart from that it is a good performance.
