T Target

George - really impressed with the progress that you have made so far.
I think you could benefit from analysing at least two more music videos that are in the same genre that you have chosen.
I also think that you need to reflect on the name of your blog - geezer and what that says about your group. Kai informs me that your company name is 'out of time records' so better to display that and design a logo. Also add how that company name represents you.

I think that it makes is look more edgy and creates a slightly more negative vibe to the video which i like the idea of using. They also use flashes between cuts as though it was a camera flash.

I like the way they use long shots of the band sat down together because to me it represents the band as one and shows the realtionship between them.

The second video i watched was oasis - shock of the lightning. This video was slightly more complicated and although their is elements of this video that i am unable to
