This is an example of a relatively positive music video. This is because the narrative is compelling and also thoughtful; luring the viewer to watch the entire clip in order to find out the end of the story. I really enjoyed this music video as there is an evident link between lyrics and visuals, because the suicide of the girl ties in with the title of the song about being brought back to life. Although the students have put an interesting literal spin on the song's meaning as opposed to metaphorical references.
The close-up shots are highly effective because we get a glimpse of the pain our protagonist is feeling, helping us to percieve a clear mood to the song. Some shots are rather repetitive, and this makes me feel that they could have used their time more effectively and put more thought into the narrative.
The end shots are particularly effective because they are flashbacks of her life and the shots included throughout. Being short and snappy we get an insight as to how short her life was, and the editing really emphasises this. Overall a really good music video.
