Just Got Paid-The Fix 

Firstly, we have the dark background with the spotlights where the artists are which are introduced on the beat. This is conventional as the music video is normally in rythm with the song. The way the have represented the first shot automatically makes us feel like this is a professional music video like they have spent quite a lot on the setting and props.When in fact its probably just a big room with the lights off and some spotlights on the floor, showing the silhoutte of these artists.

These artists have also followed the rule of using close ups of all the different band members, this shows the audience the importance of them all. Also showing the lip syncing of the artists and the direct adress between the audience and the audience as the artists look directly and confidently into the camera which makes the audience more engaged.

There is a mid shot of the band which is conventional. It shows their performance as a group and the way they are a close group and confident towards the camera. It also shows the different constume changes they have which also conventional as the costume changes normally changes with the set which is exactly what happens in the music video.

Throughout these shots the different camerawork used is effective as they mix it up a little so the audience isn't seeing everything in the same perspective. Otherwise they would just get bored of seeing the same thing. It also gives us a sence of fun and the enjoyment the boys in the video must of had when filming this. Which connects to the performance. To make your music video successful the performance has to be realistic otherwise it would look fake to the audience and ruin it completly. You need to know all the words to the song for the lip sync and you need to be confident for the camera and act like the artist you are meant to be playing which will make it look professional like this music video.
