Video 3 - 'Awolnation- Sail'



This video is amazing in terms of editing and cutting with the beat of the music. At 0:17 we can see immediately that the music is inline with the action on the screen. What I've also noticed is that although the song is very energetic it is quite mellow and the beats are long. In order to achieve what they've achieved with this video you must match the action to the music. Here the action that is slowed down is shown at 1:22- 1:44. This is the effect that makes me keep watching the video as I get the feel of the action coming with the music. Some interesting effects I've noticed is as I mentioned the slow action, and also what happens at 2:48 to the beat of the music, again the setting is changed from the man sitting at the piano to an empty room. I also like the flickering of the lights in the house as they as well as all the other techniques go along with the beat of this song.
Personally I wouldn't avoid anything that they've experimented with in this video. I would really like to try putting the slow action with fast or normal action in one video.
