It is very charming. The lip-syncing is very slick. Some of the shots are very striking especially the sun and field scenes. However, is the song not about how the protagonist cannot get the person she admires, so how come she is smiling? The dog is quite random as well. On the other hand the dog adds a normality to the music video, this sets it apart from other music videos, which means it can become more relatable for the audience. You have also flattered Imogen very well with the dull colours and bleaching which follows one of the conventions of music videos.

I thought over all you have a brilliant video.
The editing is smooth and to the beat throughout.
You have used a number of different techniques which work well together, stop motion, slow motion and the computer thing which is my best bit :)
You do not have too many different effects which is bonus. And nice twist at the end with Matt..
the way you return to the lip sync holds the whole thing together, and they are on time.
I do not have any criticisms, i really like it x

I really like the way you've put a male in the video to relate 'Imogen's' feelings for him. I also like that the whole thing is in the same colour wash black and whitish.
I don’t like that the boy only appears right at the beginning and right at the end, would have been better if he appeared at other stages too. BUT LOVE IT!

Lily Vetch makes a very valid comment on the fact that our video does not match the lyrics of the song in the way that we have created an uplifting video to a song about pain.
We spent a lot of time filming the lip sync, to get footage of her singing the song without her smiling but this was obviously not enough to portray sadness in our video. So I have learnt that we could have twisted the story line a bit to display the lyrics more clearly.
Maud and George both comment on the use of the dog. I was a bit sceptical about this part of the video working at first because it seemed a bit out of the blue, but from this I have learnt that they do like it because fitted with the rest.
I have also realised that we were not wrong to spend a lot of time focusing on the editing of the film because there have been comments about the accurateness of the lip sync as well the slick editing.
After uploading our videos to Facebook, we got a few compliments
After being uploaded on YouTube for just over a week, we have had over 200 views as well as a few likes and dislikes
We have also looked at the views on YouTube to see who has been interested in our video.
It is evident that it is more commonly viewed amognst woman ages between 17-24 within the UK, this does not come as a surprise with our choice of song and the use of a female protagonist.
