The first thing i noticed within the first 30secs of the video is the amount of quick cuts between shots of the artists, together and independently as well as the main actress with the main artist and the main actress independently. This is something our video lacked we didn't give the audience an actual chance to get familiar with the two artists especially in the opening 30secs of the music video which is essential for the audience to link the vocals and lyrics with the artist, especially with the image he was trying to create with his descriptive language in his lyrics. Also as soon as the vocalist was announced in the song there is a shot of him, to bring a face to the voice to introduce the audience to the vocalist for his fans to recognize him and attract new fans to him.
There was a great use of extreme close up shots of the main actress this is very important for hip-hop/rnb songs as it focuses the song on a physical human as the opposed imagination of the audience's interpretation of the appearance of the girl. The next time the audience get to see the main actress is her wearing a red dress which signifies an aura of romance around her making her attractive attribute look superior and she is the ultimate woman, as i said before that 'every man desires the woman in red' with makes more sense to why Lupe Fiasco is directing his vocals at 'her'. The girl in our video wasn't blatantly wearing red so even though we were going for the sole representation of the girl in red it still wasn't obvious enough to be noticed by the audience. So we may have to make the leading actress wear more red clothes in her outfit and the leading actor to wear more too towards the end of the video.
