Technical analysis

Westlife 'flying without wings'
01- A bright light slowly fades away, pan up to a close up shot of a young girl
03- A bright light like an explosion goes down a long tunnel on a dolly-cam
04- we can see the five figures of westlife at the end of the tunnel in a long, wide shot.
06- The light creeps away from the boys until it reaches the camera and has lit up the tunnel, with a still frame, wide, long shot.
07- The camera pans up to a close up of blacked out figure
09- Flashes accompany dismemebred close up shots of the groups' bodies
011- Quick cuts used by flahses of bright spotlights zoom out from a close up of the group to a long shot
016- The camera remains still as the group walk towards it and more dismembered close up shots are used on the boys
021- The boys are wearing similar clothing and are all in just black, some are wearing revealing clothes and they are walking simultaneously in a long, wide shot of them all
026- The camera goes to a close up of one members face then flahses to a close up of the girl to show a relationship and back to a mid-shot of another memeber.
028- The camera cuts back to a mid-shot of the boys walking towards a steadi-cam using hand gestures whilst singing, un-naturally bright light puts the background out of focus while the boys are in focus.
The camera time is dispatched equally between all the memebers with close ups of each group member and long, wide shots so all boys are on camera at once. The camera shots and editing are slow to symbolise the ballad that they are performing.

Kirsty this is ok, but you don't always mention the camera distance which is really the point of this exercise. This is brief in comparison to others, I would suggest adding another 20 seconds
