The Fix's song 'Just got Paid' was a simple and effective low budget music video. They used simple black stages, with spotlights and the hallway of someones house to create an effective feel of being rich and happy as they were preforming and being luxurious. The lighting was very bright and used spotlights to light up the band members. This showed they were a solo being as The Fix, with each separate member being of equal importance. The band used simple dance routines and movements in unity to portray the Boy Band feel of all being equal. They also all wore suits to show how they were all rich and successful as they had 'just got paid'. it also enhances the feeling of being one being as they were all dressed the same. They used effective lip syncing and movement to camera to create a feel of being a professional band. The edits are exactly on the main beat of the song, making it look neat and precise. There are mainly two types of shot in the video, long shots of the band as a whole preforming together, and mid shots of the band separately, getting ready for a night out.
the A-Ha video Imogen Leap is an effective abstract video, portraying the mixed up and slightly psychotic feeling of the singer. They used dark and cold colours, such as black and grey, with a vibrant colour over the top to create a feeling of unease, such as showing a grey face with bright red lips. They use images of music boxes and rings to create a feel of possessions and secret feelings towards them. the lighting is dark, but not dark enough to not see the details on the items, showing clouded vision, but a clear mind. They use smoke machines to make the imagery more clouded and to give a professional feel.
They layer images over each-other to add a feel of overlapping feelings and emotions and reverse shots to show unknown and strange abnormalities.
