I like the opening screenshot of the singer as it is quite simple as he is just sitting, with his guitar, against a wooden shed. I also like the use of the Rule of Thirds as the shot is made more interesting as the singer is not directly in the middle of the screen, but instead just off to the side.
I like the use of animation in this scene as the singer is playing his guitar whilst a cartoon version of him walks across the bottom of the screen and I believe that this makes the video quite unique as it is using both live and animated footage.
I like this scene as it is shot from a different angle and allows the audience to see more of the surroundings and location that the singer is in as well as a different perspective of the singer.
Throughout the music video there are different shots of the singer and his life, i.e. him surfing or walking along the beach with his dog. I like these different shots as it makes the music video more interesting as the shots are not just of him playing the guitar.
This shot is a close up of the singer. I like this shot as it is similar to the close up of the dog as they are both in the same place. Also, the cartoon version of the singer again walks across the screen and is a good use of live and animated footage.
Again I feel that the use of animation with live footage is a good combination as it makes the music video unique and entertaining. Also, the words "Lady Melody" appear on the screen at the same time as the singer says them, which adds a unique touch to the shot.
The use of the Rule of Thirds in this shot makes the scene more in interesting as the singer is not sitting in the centre of the screen. I am thinking of using shots like this in my music video as I like the different types of shots and angles as it makes the music video more interesting.
The use of shots that are not entirely of the singer make the music video more interesting as they allow the audience to see different perspectives of the singer as well as allowing them to see the hobbies that they are interested in, like surfing and walking his dog on the beach.
I feel the use of action shots of the singer add to the song as it is quite a relaxing song and it suits the genre of "surfer dude". Also the use of slow, smooth shots really suit the "chilled out" theme of the song as there are no bright flashing images or really fast animations as this would ruin the theme of the song.
This shot of him surfing helps add to the "surfer dude" feel of the song as the relaxing acoustic guitar rifts suit a beach location, rather than a busy city.
