Junior Senior - Move Your Feet Analysis


I have chosen to talk about this video because it's very different and exciting. It also includes the same characteristics as our ideas, so I feel it's a good comparison.Firstly, I will look at the way they have constructed this video. They used Deluxe Paint to create the animation effect, this wound of taken ages to make every single character and background individually. There are several different characters like the squirrel and the dancing robot encouraging you to get up and dance. The music and song itself is very upbeat and used in dance clubs around the world. This aspect of the music video doesn't compare to our soundtrack as it is a slow and quiet song. Throughout the song and video of 'Move you feet' it take the lyrics literally as it does what the lyrics says. For example when is says 'people in the street' there is people in the street, also 'can't control my feet' they show some twisted legs trying to stop moving. This is the way we are going to try and set our video out, using the lyrics as our story and using the narrative literally. Our video is going to be bright and colourful throughout and as you can see this video is very bright and colourful so this relates to our idea as well. We are going to send as much time making each character and background like they have done but using different methods to create them.
There are loads of different camera angles which make the video more interesting and give it variety. There are close ups of different objects that look very professional and this is something we will try and incorporate into our music video. There is a medium length shot to get things like the legs in to make sure that’s all that’s in the shot. Also the shot that we will be using most in our video is the long shot which is used a lot in most video as it captures the whole scene.
The editing is very good in this video as there is a lot going on. There are loads of shots to organize in order and cut them the way you want. In this video the pace of the editing is at a fast speed changing the backgrounds and characters all the time. With our video we are planning on using the same character so that won’t be a problem but we have several different backgrounds which we need to change and flick between.
