The first video I analysed was Follow - Crystal Fighters
Techniques and conventions used
There were many location changes, the cinematography was smooth, clear and made the video easier to understand. It was also edited to the beat of the song. Lip sync was also used which was believable and on time with the lyrics. The video was also filmed in stop motion which created voyeurism and makes the video stand out from others. Overall I think this is a very good video as it uses many different techniques and conventions which keep the audience entertained and engaged.

The second video was Amnesia - 5 Seconds Of Summer
Techniques and conventions used
Slow motion shots were used in the video in order to create flash backs as this is a love song. Lip sync is also used effectively throughout the video. In the mise-en-scene we see rays of light shining over the band when a flashback is supposed to be shown and the background is also blurry which creates verisimilitude. I dislike this video as it is not applicable to my personal taste and I also think it is very cliche and boring. This video creates no voyeurism for me whatsoever as I think the narrative is bland.

The final video I analysed was We Found Love - Rihanna
Techniques and conventions used
Many techniques are used in this video such as a voice over, different locations and montage edits. The room is also filmed spinning around at a really fast pace which matches the narrative within the video. We then also see slow motion scenes which is contrasting with the fast paced scenes and once again supports the narrative. The costumes also create verisimilitude as they match the rest of the mise-en-scene. Other techniques are used such as projection. I quite like this video although the genre is not suited to my personal taste. I like the use of slow motion and fast paced scenes and also the use of projection which I think creates voyeurism and makes the video stand out from other cliché love-story music videos.
