PCA Media Video Critique

Dragonfly
This video was really interesting. It played with different perspectives and camera angles, to make it seem like people were interacting with objects in an unusual manner.
It explores loads of different camera angles, giving the effect of making people look bigger or smaller than the object they're interacting with. For instance, there was a person far away in the background being 'squashed' by a 'giant' shoe.
You don't see a lot of these videos; it's really creative and uses the imagination.
The music in the background is really fitting, it's slow and acoustic. It makes for easy listening, so you're mainly focused on what's going on in the actual video.

This video is kind of different to normal videos. I like how it uses a completely abstract camera angle, so it's set in first person. You see the story being told out like it's from your own eyes.
The storyline behind it is decent as well - it's based around an envelope, and everyone seems to want it and go out of their way to get it.
On the camera views, it gives me a good idea for my final major project. It's unusual and makes it interesting to watch.
The background music is suited well to it. It sets the tone and mood for the clip.
