Professional Project Review - All Star

Professional Project Review - All Star

Summary

All Star starts out with a group of people auditioning for a superhero team. Steve Harwell steps in and throws out a man dressed as Elvis auditioning, and is accepted into the group. Harwell first walks down a sidewalk where a child is holding him an L. Afterwards, Harwell runs into a burning house to save a dog while the rest of the band plays outside. He gives the dog back to two ladies and then gives them a ride in his motorcycle around town. The rest of the band is attacked in their limousine and Harwell pulls up with his bike and saves them, leaving the ladies behind. Harwell is then seen walking up to an overturned buss with someone trapped underneath. He lifts the bus up with cheerleaders cheering him on in the background. The person under the bus turns out to be miss all star. The video ends with the band playing in a garage.

Thoughts

All Star uses great examples of cinematography to tell a story; an example being the opening shot of Harwell walking down the sidewalk. I would like to draw inspiration from the way they matched up what was happening the video with the beat of the song, and use it in my own upcoming music video. I enjoy the song and like the way they made the music video, and I hope I can successfully make a music video comparable to this one.
