Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (2009)
I really like this video as it was really creative and well-edited. The effects magnetised me because it was well-crafted and the music was very suited to the scenes, it was very energetic and full of thrills. The fluidity of changing camera angles from POV shots to medium shots or wide shots were incredibly smooth. It had included various shot distances such as close-ups, medium shots, POV and a few other more. It had also included various camera angles such as worm's eye view when she was waking up near the end, it was then immediately followed up by a zooming out bird's eye view. It had a low angled shot when Alice drank from the bottle making her bigger, this is to create awareness that she was superior to anyone else by height. It was also quite effective using a bit of monotone here from this scene.
Overall, I think this is a really effective 90 seconds film which told a whole story, shot with various distances and angles with the music complimentary.
The Laundrette (2011)
This video was quite interesting, plot-wise it was intriguing. The filming was steady and on stand-by, the camera never followed the characters. The way they showed changes the scene was a simple change of angle and cut to go to the next scene. It was smooth and effective. It had various shot distances ranging from close-ups, medium shots and long shots. The music also complimented the video. Another thing was that it was HD and good quality.
Living (2016)
I find this video intriguing, it was very static but the shot angles and distance made up the element to make it a successful video. It started up as a close-up shot with the fish then followed up by an overview of the room through a wide shot. My initial reaction towards the elderly lady sitting in the corner was that she was dead because of how the lighting and contrast, it seemed that she was so blue and to me it connoted that she had been waiting for the doctor too long and died (not literally). The background music was subtle until the man ripped off the wallpaper which made a very scratchy sound.
Overall, I think this video was a very well-made production which complimented all the elements together.
