Cinematography

Camera Angles and Movements:
  •  Zoom shot/Close up - Used to see more emotions
  •  Long shot
  •  Pan  movement - Used to get a feel of the atmosphere
  •  Medium close up shot
  •  Birds eye angle/Crane shot - Stylistic way of showing the atmosphere
  •  Over shoulder shot - Used to show a conversation
  •  Establishing shot - Used to set the scene
  •  Focus pool shot - Used when changing focus e.g in Psycho with the eye and the plug drain. 
  •  Tracking shot - Used to make the viewer feel apart of the action
  •  Shot reverse shot (editing) - Used to see people's reactions
  •  Wide shot - Normally used to show a conversation
  •  Point of view shot - Used to see what the character is seeing
  •  Low angle - Normally used to make someone look intimidating or important
  •  High angle - Used to make someone feel or appear vulnerable
  •  Tilt canted angle - Quirky and mostly used in horror/psychological films
  •  Extreme close up - Dramatic
  •  Dutch angle - Used to create an edgy feel - scary
  •  Master shot 
Cinematography for our music video:
  • Zoom shot/close up - We could use this during the second verse during the lyrics: "That I will hold you up, I'll never let you down, I'll always be around" as this will enable the viewer to see her emotions. (Because we want to tell a story with the lyrics, emotions will make it realistic)
  • Pan movement - This could be used at the beginning of the song when the beat of the music is slow; to introduce all of the 'band members' (in one movement - no cuts)
  •  Medium close up - This will be used throughout the video
  •  Over the shoulder shot - This will be used when the main singer is having a conversation with the boy she is singing about, only we will just see the back of the guys head and the singer over his shoulder talking (possibly a memory)
  •  Establishing shot - This could be used to set the scene when the main singer changes location. E.g. when she is on her bike near the park (could also be a point of view shot) or when she is walking down the lit up pathway in the evening (lyrics:  Let the people talk, we can walk the walk, never going wrong"
  •  Point of view - When the singer is on her bike and looking at the park (Whilst singing the lyrics:  Baby, you're the one, Like flowers in the sun, We can only grow"
  •  Low angle - During the lyrics: " You can take the lead" - When in the white room or the house with a fireplace (wearing the knit jumper) to show contradiction of what the angle means.
  •  High angle - During the chorus
