Two Door Cinema Club- Something Good Can Work

I like this video because of the varied shots and locations throughout, maintaining interest throughout.

I like the shallow depth of field in this shot as it creates an interesting eye catching opening. The focus pull over the shot is effective and professional looking. I also love the general colour wash of this shot, it looks icy and creative.

I love this birds eye view shot, looking down on the artist and following him as he walks round the poolside, it is something that I haven't really seen in a music video before and is somethings which I would really like to re-create.

As the camera angle follows the artist, looking down on his hat, it leans forward and splashes into the water. I love this effect as it is an unusual camera angle, creating a unique section of film. It appears that this is filmed on a GoPro camera, as it is waterproof and has a slight fisheye effect, this is unusual to be used in the music video but still creates a cool effect.

Again, the underwater effect is cool, as the microphone shines through behind the bubbles visible, and the fish eye lens creates an interesting shot.

The transition from the previous shot to this one is extremely clever. The microphone maintains the same through the change, and the background around him changed from underwater to the street scene. I think this is a good idea, however could be difficult to re-create. I also like this medium shot of the artist singing into the camera, with the rest of his band in the background.

This interesting camera angle, created by fixing the camera to the neck of the guitar and having it over the artists shoulder, creates an interesting long shot, following the band through the streets as they are walking. This shot could be quite easy to re-create and I feel could be good in my music video.

I love the shallow depth of field used in this extreme close up, although the lip syncing would have to be perfect, I like the way that it singles out the main singer and focuses solely on the artists face.

I like the location of these shots, changing to the whole band in the woods, this long shot, showing the whole band, as well as the background in focus creates a mysterious effect, something that could easily be re-created.

Again, the shallow depth of field in this shot, looking down the neck of the guitar, having the playing hand and a section of strings in focus, is very effective and interesting.

This cut in the video is very interesting; as the band member moves his hand across the screen, the camera starts to twist with it, spinning the scene around into the next shot. I feel this is a cool effect and cold be re-created using various camera angles and After Effects.

Again, the change in locations throughout the video maintain interest throughout. I like this shot as the moving bumper car stays in focus whilst the background is out of of focus.

As the location switches to the dessert, this close up of the profile of a band member looking down, into the sun, creates a mellow and relaxed atmosphere, as well as an interesting shot.

This long shot is cool as it keeps the band within a third of the shot, and keeps the rest of the shot pretty much empty, I like this effect, and it would be interesting if the band moved through the different thirds.
