Canopy Climbers - Stuck

Firstly the time lapse is incredibly effective in both the narrative and setting the scene. The narrative is unique and well shot, along with the various camera angles and effects. It's clear there was a lot of time gone into this video, seen by the lighting and effects. The miming for example is set in a room with a lamp, emphasised by the time of day, allows us to learn about the narrative and story line behind the lyrics. The cross cutting to the miming from the character significant as it allows you to follow the story as well as feel the emotion and mood of the character.

Firstly the music video is already effective by the use of time lapse and the location of London. Clearly the narrative is based on city life, and the hardships of a relationship in this setting. The mixture of shots really highlights the struggles of the character, and the ongoing narrative. When lip syncing I felt the actor was a little off a times, and would not constantly look at the camera, however this is personal preference. Also the editing of the footage with the beat of the music makes it more effective, and something we wish to try in our own video.
