Task 4 - Preliminary Task

For this particular task we were given a choice of different music videos to recreate and analyse, so me and my group of Harriet Richardson; Mia Griffin and Isabella Gregson chose to do Jessie J's Who's laughing now. This practise will greatly help me when I need to go and create my very own music video.

Analysis – What have I learnt from this?

I have learnt that music videos contains a multitude of different shots and these are shown constantly at very quick speeds of up to two seconds. As well as this there is also loads of editing types to make each shot work with one another.
