low budget video analysis (seville & Devanda Bernheart)

Camera

There are a lot of hand held shots used through out the whole video as they are trying to capture a walk ad a ride through london town as if they were tourists. The camera is used as like a tourist would be using a handheld camera. There are quite a lot of establishing shots that are used to make the viewer aware that they are in London town and to show the area that they are in. There are a few close ups of things that they are doing like for instance there is a close up of the photo that they find at the end of the video.

Mise-en-scene

The song is about being around a town so the choice of London is very good. The fact that the artists are dressed in 1800 type wear makes the viewer think of the time when london was refereed to as a town, this is good for the song. There costume also makes them stand out from the crowd that they are walking through, this is a great way of showing that the artist is different to other artists.

Performance

The whole song is performed as a happy go lucky performance making the viewer feel that they are enjoying themselves. The dancing and happy expressions gives the whole video an upbeat feeling that is good for making the video feel happy. The artists also look at the camera a lot that makes the viewer feel like they are being performed to.

Editing

As this is a low budget video there does not seem to be a vast amount of complicated editing techniques used. There seems to be a lot of jump cuts and a couple of fades, as it is low budget there is nothing two advanced. The only editing that is mostly used is lip syncing the performer to the video.
