Camera shots, angles and movements.

Camera Shots:

Wide Shot: Wide shot can be used to show our performer’s actions and a bit of the background.

Extreme Close Up: This can be used to show emotions on the three performers. It can be focused on the lips, to show lip-syncing or the eyes to show their heartfelt emotions.

Cut In: This shot can be used to show other part of the performer in detail. E.G. focusing on the feet while walking or focusing on the hands to show the performer’s weakness.

Cutaway: As well as having shots of the performers, cutaways can be used to show different cuts from totally different scenes, however they must be relating to the song and the type of video. E.G. a clip of swaying trees to emphasize their loneliness.

Two- Shot: Two shots can be used for our flashbacks. For when the couples are fighting which then leads onto the present where they’ve finally broke up.

Over the Shoulder Shot: This can also be used on the flashbacks. Fighting scenes between the couples. This can focus on one person getting angry, and the other crying.

Weather Shot: Weather shot can be used to show the landscape of the weather and the scene to emphasize the mood. E.G. Dull grey day to show sadness.

Camera Angles:

Bird’s Eye View: We can use a bird’s eye view with another cut in to add interesting scenes. E.G. a shot of the city at day/ night.

High Angle: This camera angle would be useful for showing action’s from the performers higher than them to show a perfect view of what is going on.

Camera Movements:

Pan: Pans can be used to show the scenes. E.G. it can be used to pan around the city from a high angle.

Dolly Shots: This shot can be used to follow the performer to their destination. E.G. one performer can be walking with the guy, whilst the camera is following them. We can achieve this by walking with the camera, or using a shopping trolley and tying the camera to the trolley.
