This is a fan video for 'Owl City's- Fireflies' but i have chosen this because it uses the same kind of techniques that we want to create and try in our music video for example iStopMotion and Green Screening. The music video starts of as live action but then the actress falls asleep and wakes up on a white board as her eye (green screen), when you use stop motion there is a sense of surrealism which you feel when you watch it and the way the green screen is used with the eye on it helps emphesis the dream like effect and weird effect stop motion gives video. In the video there is no link between the lyrics/audio and visuals because with stop motion it would hard to edit the lip syncing to be perfect and also if the actress is singing in the video it takes away the dream like feel to the video and that stop motion gives you.
The fact that she is gliding along the floor whist the video is playing and the fact that the video suggests that she is not noticed by any one around her and she is like a un noticed character just helps the audience to be reminded that it is a dream and stops them thinking that the video is unrealistic.
Overall i think that the video is very effective because they manage to create very smooth stop motion that flows very well and it creates a feel of surrealism throughout.
