CAMERA SHOTS

For my music video to be successful, it is important to have a variety of camera shots used throughout the video.
These include:
  • Close up Shots - I will be able to use these shots in close ups of the artist or either of the narrative actors. It would also be an idea to use close up shots on the guitar that I was going to use for my artist. This will bring emphasis on the music and the artist.
  • Mid shots- These will be used throughout my video for both the song and the narrative.
  • Long Shots - I plan on using Long shots in various ways. It would be ideal to use a long shot to represent the artist and these will be used when walking and for different movement shots.
  • Extreme Close up- These could be used on various occasions, including the eyes of the singer or actors in the narratives.
  • POV Shot- It would be useful to use  a POV shot in my video because it shows the audience the perspective of the artist. Though this may not be relevant to my music video, I will try to include this shot to create variety.
  • Cut In/Cut Away Shots - By using a cut in, focusing on another area of the subject or a cut away,focusing on something that is not the subject, variety would be included in the video as well as representing other ideas that link to the narraive e.g. hand hold
  • Over the shoulder Shot - This shot will be useful to establish the location of both my actors in the video and to recognise the POV of one of the actors in reaction to the other.
  • Establishing shots - I can use these shots to represent the setting and location.
