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.
