Music Video - Amanda Kaletsky - Everything Lies


I have uploaded the music video to youtube so we can get some audience feedback from a wider range of people not just people we know. I have uploaded it to youtube as our target audience is the core 15-24 age group who are consistant users of websites such as this.

Here is the link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2eZ1MZQJVg

Along with youtube I uploaded the music video to bebo as it is one of a few popular social networking sites for the 15-24 age group to go on.

Facebook is also a very popular site for people ranging from teenagers to people in their middle ages. I have e-mailed a few contacts on facebook with the link to the music video and asked them what they thought. Some of the people couldn't comment through Blogger and the Google accounts so they e-mailed their views back to me on facebook;

this is well good! there isnt anything i think you could improve on to be honest, its already really good! the best part was when tom was running in through the leysland entrance and you could see 'everything lies' on the sign :) xx

Fantastic video and cracking song to be fair! Love the storyline to it all and how it the narrative merges with the performance aspect of the video. It has a good shot variety and a good pace to the video that keeps viewers entertained throughout, good job!

Emma said...

It's a really good music video =) it looks really professional and some of the shots and transitions you've used are very well edited =D xx

I liked it overall. I liked the camera pan in the theatre at 0:37, it was good and it empowered your character, which I guess was the theme of the video. Perhaps if you made more use of that panning, wider shots in the theatre, snapping into a close-up like you did, it'd give more of a sense of scale.

There was lots of good cheesy imagery, the writing on the wall, the flower etc, and I liked the cheese. It's a cheesy song, and you embraced the cheese, with soft focus on the "remembering" bits which worked well, but I thought you could have perhaps upped the cheese, played with it a bit.

The final chorussy bit, with the short shots cutting between singing and people dancing behind the guy were good, built up to a nice final crescendo, and the contrast between the guy sitting with his head in his hands and the people dancing behind him was good.
But yeah, overall I liked it, it had a good Disney feel to it and it looked very professional, with lots of intricate editing ... :) xx

Heyy, i really like this! The music suits the story really well, and the song is really catchy..i think the poster looks really good and the poster suits it too. I liked the picture of you lying on the white rug; the rose petals that surround you suggest the lost love, but the rose suggests hope and new love, but i also like the collage becuase it summs up all the emotions of the song and storyline...well done = )Fiona x

This video is amazing!! I love the narrative and think it's perfect for an audience our age. It's amazing how much narrative and shot types you managed to fit into one video. My favourite part was when you froze the shot of you and Tom like you were taking a picture. I don't see how you coould improve anything : D

Larisa Skists said...

Oh and I love the black and white shots of Tom walking with Kelly

Jordan said...

Very good video! Like the lip-syncing it's timed well. The edits get faster at the end for the climax of the song which is effective. Also, I like that yours has a story whereas ours is just Ellis making brekky and walking around ;) The photo effect on some of the shots is good. Very professional and I can't spot any mistakes. In conclusion, good work and Mike should give you an A. You can quote that to him :)

This is so good! It has been really well done. I like the bit where you see the lips really close- really professional :)
