Research on music videos

In order to make a final decision on which brief i am going to choose, I believe it is important to research the other briefs which interested me.

This blog is about the research i have done on music videos. Below is a music video by Rudimental called 'waiting all night'.  I chose to research this because it focuses on two of my briefs i have narrowed down to. It is a music video however also shows aspects of it being a short film. 

This music video is about a boy who lost the lower part of his leg whilst participating in his favourite hobby which was BMX'ing. The video shows how he then had to watch the rest of his friends carry on with his favourite sport whilst he recovered. However, towards the end of the film it shows he has an artificial leg and he finally begins to ride his bike again. 

I believe this music video draws in the audience due to it being a real life experience so others could relate. Personally, i like the use of the hand held camera. This is because it allows the audience to feel involved and like they are also experiencing the situation. This could allow the audience to feel empathy. The use of the hand held camera is something i would like to explore as i believe it is very effective and something i may include in my music video.
