Final - Shot Types

Different uses of shot types

Below are a variety of different shot types that we used within our music video. I thought that i would just share a couple of my favourites. 

This first one is of Lauren where we have used a transition so that they it looks like there is two of her on the screen, we know that we could have overlapped the clips so that the Lauren's figure could have been more opaque but it did not look as good. If we did it that way then the background looked sharper and did not work as well. Overall i like this affect because there are two dances going on at the same time and mixes up the normal kind of long shot that can get repetitive. 

This is a close up of Lauren when she was dancing in the dance studio, we liked the fact that it was a close up and you saw her facial features whilst dancing whereas usually you would only be able to capture a dance in long shot or medium shot. It was quite difficult to get the shot but i think we did it well and was effective within the sequence. 

I liked this shot because it captures just Alice on her own but also gets in the fact that it was golden hour and so the beautiful scenery is blurred slightly and then Alice's hair is highlighted in the sun making her stand out. Also, you can see that she is looking at something which we liked as this 'thing' could be Jack. 

The next two shots coordinate with other as they come one after the other, we decided that they fit well with each other because as Lauren's leg lifts in the first shot it then goes straight into the next and spins but with more of a focus on her leg as the shot is a medium close up of the bottom half of her body. In the first shot it is a low angle of her as we thought that this create a change in our shots since a lot of them are filmed from straight on. Then we also thought that having a red light in the second shot would once again bring in the other shots from our music video so all of them relate.
