Erase Me

1.  The song was Erase Me by Kid Cudi.

2.  The group members were Alan Pissarenko, and company.

3.  The video is a mood piece.

4.  The general feeling you get from hearing this song is feeling trapped.

5.  The two scenes that reflected this were the two different scenes of the boy running.

6.  One element that worked in this video were the credits; they were super creative!

7.  Something that could have been done differently were the scenes that changed the angles by physically moving the camera DURING FILMING, rather than changing the angle of the tripod and doing a whole new shot.

8.  This group did not really reflect the mood, seeing as there really is no mood; we give it a 3.

Fight For Your Right

1. The song is fight for your right to party.

2.  The group members are Chris, Blake, etc.

3. This was a mood piece.

4. The general feeling we got was confusion and disappointment in the student's work.

5.  Two elements that reflected the mood identified above is the lack of effort in the video and the random scenes that did not make sense.

6. Nothing

7. Edit the scenes better

8.  The group did not reflect the mood of the song; we give it a 2.

2 Phones

2 Phones

1) 2 Phones by Kenvin Gates.

2) The group members are Nicole Slade, Caleb VanRiper, and Hannah Vicars.

3) This was a mood piece.

4) "The feeling of this video is pimpin'." - Gina Pagnotta, 10:10 a.m.

5) The swaggy dance scenes and the whisk scene.  "You guys took a big whisk with hoping we would all figure out it is a microphone." -Gianna Peralli, 10:11 a.m.

6)  The camera stability.

7) Not repeat the shots and have them so long.

8) This reflected the pimpin' vibe very well, but somewhat confused me.  I give it a 5/10.

Neptune

1) Neptune by Sleeping at Last

2) The group members were Savannah Israel (my baby child), Hannah Coffaro, and John Patneaudd (according to the source himself.)

3) I thought it was both a mood and narrative, but primarily narrative.

4)  The relationship is not working out and John's character is angry and sad about it.

5) The lyric "I want to love you" definitely works when Savannah makes her angry exit and when the viewers see the shots of John definitely in distress about her leaving.  

6) The coloring of some of the clips, because I disagree with Mr. Klein and definitely noticed how the tint affected the mood of the clips!!! (:

7) I would have had John go into the water at the end.

8) They illustrated the lyrics very well, I loved Savannah's camerawork and I'm super proud of her.  I give it a 9.75/10 the .25 is because of the ending.

You've Got a Friend in Me

1) You've Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman.

2)  The group members were Julian Cohn, Sybastian Newby, Roberts Gibbs, and Kyle Clark.

3) This is a mood piece.

4)  The feeling I from this was just super happy vibes because it is a song from most people's childhoods and also had such a lovely message about friendship.

5) The interaction between the actors and also the fun, friendly activities that they participated in.

6) One element that worked well in this video is when the video is black and white until the friend comes in and it turns to color.

7) Using a tripod would have been a good move.

8)  I liked this!  It's super cute and definitely reflects the good mood of the song.  I give it a 7.5/10! (:

House of Memories

1) House of Memories by Panic! at the Disco.

2) The group member was Kerri Crowley.

3) The video is a narrative.

4) The boy misses the girl and looks through his house of their memories.  At the end, somebody rings the doorbell and you can assume it is the girl (or maybe even somebody new!)

5) All the rad shots with the photos plastered on the walls; I was really impressed with those shots.  The shots of the house (were gorgeous goodness.)

6) The lighting was consistent throughout and the shots flowed really well, I loved it.

7) As mentioned in class, the lip-syncing, but I get how hard that is.

8)  This was awesome and it illustrated the lyrics super well!! I loved it!! 9/10 well done! (:

White Iversion

1) White Iverson by Post Malone

2) Kaylee Misiti, Robert Gibbs

3) This was a mood piece.

4) I got confusion from this video.

5) Why was he kicking the wrong ball?  IS THIS WHAT THEY MEAN BY BALL IS LIFE THAT YOU ALWAYS USE THE SAME BALL FOR EVERY SPORT?  I was also confused by two watches and the same lean down shot.

6)  The slow motion worked well!

7)  The clothes change was unnecessary.

8) Well I am not quite sure what the mood of the song was, but since I got confusion, I feel like the mood was not reflected well.  I give it a 6 out of 10 because of beautiful skies.

Go Love Yourself- Justin Bieber

1) Love Yourself by Justin Bieber

2) The group members are Joshua Staggs, Christina Trujilo, Joseph Zagorski

3) The video is a narrative.

4) There is a narcissistic girl who is obsessed with sending photos of herself to her guy friend and or boyfriend.  He gets tired of it and deletes snapchat.  She's not having that and instead texts him the photo on their messaging system.  He then proceeds to throw his phone in the pond.

5) All of the various shots of the girl "loving herself" with the many selfies she takes.

6) The girl taking photos of herself.

7) There was this one clip where the girl was taking selfies and it ran for like 30 seconds.  I would not have made the clip that long.

8) The story illustrated the lyrics well as the girl was most definitely loving herself.  I give this a 7/10 for accuracy.

Daydreaming- Paramore

1) Daydreaming by Paramore.

2) Kat Proctor, Juan Saborido-Battaglia. Tyler (Joseph) Resch

3) The video is narrative.

4) There is a girl who likes to daydream about having fun adventures with her pals.  She daydreams at school and ends up getting caught!  She then flees and joins her friends again.

5) The scenes when it showed Kat daydreaming in class and daydreaming while doodling.

6) The story was so cute and matched the happy vibes of the song!

7) Maybe have more locations.

8) The group illustrated the lyrics fairly well!  They could have added more scenes of daydreaming, but I give it an 9/10!!! It twas good. (:

Bite- Troy Sivan

1) The song was Bite by Troye Sivan.

2) Made by Jenna Sivek, Kyla Rudd, and Hunter Thompson.

3) The video is a mood piece

4) "SOOTHING I LOVE TROYE SIVAN" -Gianna Peralli 9:10 a.m.

    In all seriousness, this song has a relaxed vibe that perfectly matches the relaxing clips in the video.

5) The cool tones in the video help match the relaxed feeling that we get from the song.  Also, the aesthetically pleasing of the tinted embers was super relaxing and it would one of those things on the internet that you use to stop panic attacks.  

6) Just the filming in general worked super well in this video (COUGH ESPECIALLY THE CLIPS THAT I GIANNA PERALLI DID- jenna wanted me to include that.)  Every clip they had was filmed super professionally and I almost forgot this video was made by high school students.

7) This video was so great that nothing had to be done differently.

8) SO WELL.  They did incredible, this video really did put me in a good mood and I give it an 18 out of 10.  Everything about it was fantastic.

Uncanny Valley Synopsis

This film showed many different true-story examples of people who have practically lived their lives in video games.  As their addiction grew, life became boring and depressing.  They no longer knew what to say or do around people, and the real world was a mystery to them.  They didn't leave their house for years.  This film portrays an imagery of the difficulty of becoming ridiculously addicted to gaming.

Political Ad Evaluation

Group Improvement:
1) Instead of having certain people do certain jobs, have everyone pitch into everything.
2) Check audio before presenting.
3) We should have spent more time researching.

Personal Improvement:
1) Combining everyone's ideas together instead of just sticking with the first good idea.
2) I would have liked to contribute more to the filming.
