Interesting Camera Angles.

Now we are decided on our brief being a music video, we researched a variety of different videos spanning multiple genres and looked at the camera angles they used.

Our group is interested in filming the music video with two parts.

• A story featuring extras, other actors and different locations
• A performance from a band who are playing the song on their respective instruments

We look first at the band shots, paying close attention to the angles and effects used.

In this video from bar car racer's video for their song "I feel so", we liked this angle. 

This shot of the drummer is really interesting because it shows him surrounded by the drums, and he is also in front of the band's logo. We will use this shot in our video.

This lowshot of the guitarist is also interesting because it does not include his head, drawing attention to the guitar itself.

This close up of the singer brings intensity to the video. He is singing very emotionally, and it gives the video attitude  and edge.

This close up of the snare drum is excellent because it fills the screen with the snare drum, creating an interesting unique shot. It also allows the crack of the snare to break through the music because the viewer is focused on this instrument.

We really liked this shot because of the atmosphere created by the lighting. We will utilise a mixture of dim and bright lights to create a contrast between the band. 

This shot of the bass guitarist with the drummer in the background is interesting because it allows the viewer to focus on the rarely seen bassist, whilst also having the visual stimulus of the drummer. 

We will use all of these shots in our music video, and will be especially careful with regards to our lighting.
