1) I like how in the first video the actions go with the music and the props that they use make the video interesting. They use lots of colourful props to make the viewer be ‘hooked’ to the video. We might use the idea of a light bulb above our heads because it makes it look interesting we will do this by cutting out a piece of paper in the shape of the light bulb and when we lay down on the floor we place it above out heads.


(The light bulb grows bigger when the man has an idea, We could use this idea by cutting of a light bulb out on a piece of paper and when we lay down on the floor, we could place the light bulb above our heads. This may be hard because if we move the light bulb needs to be directly above our heads.)

2) In the second video we like the use of skittles but its very hard because the skittles are very fiddly. The video spelt things with the use of skittles; I think we could do this by using blue tack so we keep the skittles on the ground, so they don’t move. This might be hard because we might knock the skittles and they might spill everywhere.

(We could do this idea by drawing underneath so we know where to place the skittles, we could use blue tack so the skittles don’t move and spill anywhere. This might be very fiddly so it might be hard to do)


3) In the third video we like the idea of the string and scissors, the scissors cut the string that is wrapped around the girl. Also the start how it shows things moving in the house because it looks different, and it would be easy to do because you are controlling bigger things. When she lies down on the floor, and a wire pulls her up it looks really cool and it would be easy to do. We would get like a hook and attach it to our backs and it would pull us up out of the frame

(The string in the video gets cut and it forms into an ocean. I think this is a very original idea that can be easily done. We need to just wrap string around an object and then cut the string with some scissors. This might be hard because it could take awhile and the lighting might change)

In the fourth video we like how the skittles ‘move’ to the music and that they do close ups to the skittles. Its cool how they cross skittles over and make them look like their dancing. When the make the skittles turn round each other it looks so colorful. When the skittles disappear it makes it look magical. We also like the idea of having a skittle pacman.

( I like this idea of the skittles looking like its playing music, It also go’s along with the music set so it makes the video look better than it would if it wasn’t moving with the music. We could use this idea by making a line of skittles and adding or taking away one each time)

In the fifth video the start looks colourful because all the skittles are changing colour. We like this idea because it could make our video look a lot more colourful and it will be much more fun for the viewer.

(I like this idea, we could do this by taking a photo and changing the colour of the skittles every time. This would be hard because of the spacing in between each skittle (we might not get it accurately each time) Although it would be hard, I think it will improve the look of the video)
