Ray Parker Jr.:
Ghostbusters 1984 [Music Video] by AverageMansReviews
Review Time
Warning: colourful effects/horror themes/shooting
Generally speaking
the premise is: I will split it down into
basically 3 sections; so I cover everything basically. Himself/Ray Parker Jr.
[Ray Parker Jr. vocalist/singer of this track:] as a ghost to terrify this
woman [depending where you are in this music video is depending if he is a ghost
or not, meaning alive and just doing this music video or being alive around
this woman, we have snippets of this film " Ghostbusters 1984," some
celebrities coming in now and again saying Ghostbusters and I will just drop
one name here John Candy.
The framework and pacing of this 4
minutes project is good, the reason why I chose to break it down a little is
because on one hand it is much easier to explain and on the other hand in
reality it is all mesh together; it makes coherent sentence.
Art, action and comedy; now and again
we have some scenes/sequences which represent the 1980's excellently well; such
as one example I am pretty sure on a much closer inspection what I am
about to say is done by the usage of green screen [but just to cover
back I just want to go on record as saying they could be wrong;] we walk into
this location with this woman and everything has been blacked out, but I hasten
to add with this or these outlines of something like a window which has a white
outline with basic detail such as when this woman goes to sort out the blind;
to make it go up; be transported to a snippet of the film and right towards the
end of this project we have Dr. Peter Venkman [Bill Murray:] puts in a snifter
of effort to perform this breakdancing moves known as Back Spin;
well I did say he puts in a snifter of effort meaning he roughly lays on the
back and gets PhD. Ray Stantz [Dan Ackroyd:] to try and spin him around.
Character developments and
performances; they are on both counts all good.
This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent, it is just
harmless good fun, it also has some awards accredited to it; 2 Nominees;
American Music Awards 1985 American Music Award Favorite Soul/R&B Video Ray
Parker Jr. at the same award ceremony/event American Music Award Favorite
Pop/Rock Video Ray Parker Jr.
