Music Video Evaluation 2: Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars


 
Interesting Aspects:
- Video begins with soundtrack straight away
- Plenty of close-ups of lead singer
- Inclusion of fade-in and fade-out transitions
- Camera is moving nearly all the time and is not stationary
- Use of crane and panning shots
- Relationship between visuals and lyrics - "If I lay here..." - lying on ground
- No obvious relationship between music and visuals
- Appropriate lighting to centre attention onto the main singer
- Less interesting Mise-en-Scene proved effective in the video
- No instruments or microphone displayed

What could be incorporated in my music video:
- Could begin with the soundtrack to start the video instead of delaying it slightly
- Include plenty of close-ups of the lead singer
- Could include transitions to set a particular mood
- The inclusion of panning shots
- Display a relationship between both the visuals and lyrics
- Not include either a microphone or instruments within the frame
