Planning the Cinematography


In my groups video we plan to use a wide variety of different shots to keep our audience entertained during the video. We will have to try not to repeat to any shots in order not to be repetitive and not to lose our audience. From the list below I will discuss a few of the shots to give an example.

  • Close up
  • Extreme close up
  • Pan 
  • Low angle
  • High angle
  • Long shot
  • Establishing shot
  • Zoom
  • Tilt
  • Overhead shot
  • Free hand
A convention of all music videos is and establishing shot at the start of the video, so we will also do this  to keep up with the conventions. The demographic will be able to follow the video as they will know where it is and set the scene. We will also be using pan shots as it is a quick way to show many things in quick succession that is happening at the same time, this is very likely to happen as our video is in a party scene. We will also have to use an overhead shot in order to show the entirety of the party which will put things into perspective for the audience. The mise en scene will also be more apparent here as the audience will be able to see more on the screen. Close-ups will be used throughout the video as it will bring attention to people facial expressions and it is important for our audience to follow the narrative.

  1. You have made a start in describing the different camera shots that you would like to include within your music video.

    However, this post is incomplete and this is because you have not explainied each shot in detail. Also you need to include still images from your music video to support the points that you are making.
