These two low budget videos both use varies practical and editable techniques that help both of them to be successful music videos.
One of the tips I can gather form watching these videos are that the pace for the song and pace of editing must be in time to make it a successful video that goes with the song at the same tempo.
Another tip that I can use is that colours help to set the mood of a song for example in the A-ha! song the colours are very dark like black and red, this suits the mood as very dark and creepy.
A variety of camera shots are imported as well as the many close ups help to show objects in detail which have meaning to the lyrics at that specific time in a song, the long shots also help to show the environment which may relate tot eh mood or feelings of the song at the certain time of the song.
From watching both of these videos i have learnt that costume must be appropriate to the video for example in the fix's video they are all wearing matching clothing which help to make all of them look together actually like a boy band.
