For our prelim tasked we were asked to plan, shoot and edit a music video for a band called Acres of Life. We had thirty minutes to shoot about a minute of footage.
In the music video we tried to use a variety of different shots. The shots we used and why are:
Wide Shot. This shot allowed us to shoot the hole band in one shot, it also gave us a establishing shot which was easy always to and from. This also show the band as a unit or team which makes them look good working together.
Mid Shot of band members. Having mid shots of the individual people allowed the audience to connect with each member individually instead of the usual unit a band is show in. This allows the band to seem more divese evan if they are all representing the same look or style, they can still individually build fan bases.
Close ups. We also used close ups of each of the respected band mebers skill or talen in the group. For example a extreme close up on the leed singer mouth and the microphone or the gutirist fingers struming the giutier. Thsi showed the skill of band as oposed to being a mainstream "boy band' who usaully just sing. This shows that the band are a more organic group make them more populer in there target niche audience.
High angle drummer shot. We used this shot because it was a differnt way to show the drummer playing on all the differnt drums and symbols.
I was happy with the shots we filmed on the day and I think in post-production editing my group and I got them to flow well together. I think our most interesting shot was the high angle on the drummer as it offers some contrast to the other styles of shot we were using
