Caggie Dunlop - 'Neverland'

Another music video I really like at the moment is Caggie Dunlop's new song 'Neverland'. The former 'Made In Chelsea' has recently began to launch her music (singer/songwriter) career along side her fashion label ISWAI.

I love the use of editing in the video, the triangular shapes, cross between colour and black and white and reverse action shots of the waves crashing on the beach (at 1.01 and 1.22). Although it looks very effective it also appears quite complex so I need to experiment with my editing software before I make an initial decision. One particular editing/shot I like is at 0.36 as the fairy lights gradually become focused, I would love to incorporate that in mine.

The music video has really inspired me to base mine on a beach as I love the calmness and natural environment setting, which hopefully I will be able to find a suitable song to fit. I also really like the use of an underwater camera and was thinking about using one in mind which I could take into the sea, if I do decide to film on the beach.

The video doesn't particularly have a storyline, but instead shows Caggie, on the beach and then at a party (in her natural environment). I think both locations work really well for the song as its relaxing.

The video is quite simple, in terms of the shots, but very effective.
