Film Shots.

We have been using the tripod along with a digital video camera. We have used a variety of shots including:
Over the shoulder, Close-up, Extreme Close-up, Pan, Tilt.
We are also shooting from different angles. With the position of the camera, you can allow the expressions to look better and the lighting is different upon the object/person which can influence on how the spectators look at the situation. Also, the lighting on a person face or an object can give the spectators a general idea of the mood within the situation. This increases the atmosphere of the scene or even extend have an impact on the whole film. The importance, dominance and position of a character can be shown through what shots you use. Depending on the angle and type of shot determines to the spectators whether they are important or dominant in certain situations or their role throughout the film. The position of the camera is vital, as it is able to show characters role or expressions in great detail. This detail is needed to set the mood within the atmosphere as well as the actors becoming their characters.

The reason we need to show all of this is because the impact of the characters is vital to the film, along with the mise-en-scene, the performance of the actors is one of the main elements with a music video.

Prezi Presentation 2: What Shots We Are Going To Use.

This is just a little presentation to say what shots we think are best suitable and are the main shots that we are going to use in our project:

A2 Media Production on Prezi

Animated Video

Drum Machine :



This video shows that not only can there be videos that are produced with images and shots of a real life band, they can be in animation as well. We were shown this video to give us an idea on what could be done and how this type of music is put together. This also is telling us as an audience that music isn't always a soundtrack with music, it can be traditional, creative and all done with a type of motion, action or performance. what this video does is grab the audiences attention towards the music, and also, some people nod along to the beat of the music, along with the animated characters. This makes the audience feel as if they are a part of the video and they like the video.

More Research & Prezi Presentation of Research

We have looked at some great classic music videos that have given us amazing ideas and have influenced us in a great way. These videos contain of:

Jimmy Eats World - The Middle



This video is a great help to our group considering we were planning on doing having a house party and a lot of people, to create a busy frame and their will be a 'boy likes girl' story embedded within our music video.

YouMeAtSix - Gossip



This is also a great video because again there is a party scene and there is also, reference to the lyrics and tone of the song. the reason we have chosen to look at this song is because it is on the same wave-length as we are and we are thinking about creating a party scene.

You Me At Six have used a lot of the sex element to create a video that some people would like, with the use of attractive girls in bikini's and underwear. This is a great way to promote their video as well as the actual song and the meaning behind it.

Here is a little prezi presentation that i have put together to some up some of the important things that have inspired us and basically what we are definitely doing.
