I chose this video made by these students from A2 media last year because their music video was professionally made and had all the conventions of a music video. The overall outcome of the music video was presented perfectly it gives us partial clips that hinted and was connected with the lyrics of the song.

Cinematography

There was many different shots ranging from long shots, establishing shots, close ups and many others. Music video replicated the amount of shots within the first minute of many music videos

Sound

The music within the video is well-synced up with the lip syncing so it makes it look more natural and realistic that they're singing.

Editing

At the start of the music video there is a base track it shows the boy in the graveyard from different degrees and angles. However the boy is still in the graveyard but shown in different points of the clip. They use camera shots between clips as transition and clips were cut to the beat which never cut off the singer before saying a last word after a pause.

Mise-en-scene

I enjoyed how they made the transition within the music by not using pre-made transition and making their own through props or certain scenes. We can tell that mise-en-scene used in the music video was well-presented it had many different costumes that we could notice instantaneous. Lighting was mostly bright as it was shot in bright scenery mostly outside. It simple idea but was executed perfectly since they had made it complex through the usage of editing.
