I like the angel of this shot as it is an over the shoulder shot and the viewers gets to see what the artist is looking at. The over the shoulder shot includes the viewers in the music video as they feel like they have the same point of view as the artist. The mirror in this shot is what is in focus yet it doesn't show the face of the artist.
i really like this close-up shot of the artist holding her hand out of the window. It also uses depth of field as the background is out of focus. Her black nail varnish contrasts with the background and stands out.
this is an extreme close-up to Selena's lips. It shows the quality of the lip syncing and really brings focus onto her singing. if i could pull this off with my video i think it would look professional and make the audience believe the songs been made and sung by my actress.
this is a medium shot. Whats interesting about this shot is that the artist is looking back at the camera instead of a typical shot from the front. it gives some different angles to the video and also because of the wind her dress and hair makes a good affect as its being blown.
This is a shot is focusing on the actress's feet and where she's walking. I like this shot as her shadows also in the frame and it usesdepth of field as the background is out of focus.
i really liked this shot with the pictures overlapping on the floor. it's using props in order to create frame with a close-up shot. it's a good idea to use props to vary shots and keep the video interesting.
i really like the complete difference in colour in this long shot. The colour is almost charcoal so it's not too harsh but looks great with the theme. The use of rain is relevant to the lyrics of the song and the title and also looks really effective in the lighting as it reflects. The audience get to see the other character for the first time so a long shot is effective as they get to see the whole body in order to get familiar with him. I like how they are walking towards each other and the frame is symmetrical.
I really like this close-up shot because of the use of props and lighting. The holes in the blanket with the bright light streaming through create a nice lighting pattern on the artists face. these natural effects make the shot stand out and be more original than shots in other music videos. Its a great shot to learn from as i can now see that props play a very important part and i can try thinking of some to put to good use.
the lighting in this shot is really dim and you can barely see the artist. I think this is a good effect as the song is portrayign a sad image and this works well with the lyrics, then when the song picks up and lights burst to stream through the room it has more impact. the set is really interesting as its in a house that is empty and looks inhabited. The shot is a long shot which is good as it enables the viewers to see all the detail in the background.
i like the use of reflection in this close-up. it's really interesting as the shot is an over the shoulder shot and yet you can still see all of the artists expressions in the mirror. The effect of this
I like how the artist is sitting down and singing in this medium shot. i was thinking about including a frame where my artist was sitting down in my music video. In this shot the artist isn't looking directly into the camera and her actions are portraying her feelings about the song. this shows that even if the artist isn't dancing or singing her body language and movements are still important. The viewers can still see that the artist is in the house as the lighting is still dim yet the reflection of the window on the wall looks good.
i really like this long shot because of the lighting. You can kind of see that it's not natural light and see where it's coming from because its so strong however has a great impact as it streams through the windows. A wind machine is also being used here and the body actions of the artist are exaggerated by only showing the outline of it in a black silhouette.
i like this extreme close-up with the wind machine blowing her hair. The machine blows her hair off her face so we can see her clearer and also the artist is passionately singing at this point so by having a close-up the viewer can feel her emotions and see her expressions.
I like this shot as Kesha brings a hand up at a time then her head. It's a close up but the main focus is on her eyes. It allows the viewer to see her facial expressions which bring emotion and a story line into the music video. You still have the tap in the frame so the viewer gets some sense of where she is but there wasn't a establishing shot at the beginning as the artist hypothetically doesn't know where she is and neither do the audience, this interacts the viewers more.
in this shot they have used a reflection as we can only see the artist in the mirror. This is effective as creates a smaller frame ad also differentiates itself from ordinary shots. This technique will be easily adoptable in my music video if i choose to do something similar.
In this shot, they have created a close up of her to bring attention to the actions she is making. I like the fact that she is in the middle of the frame, this is effective because it easily brings about a focal point on the main character for the audience. This shot is original because of the fact that she is in a car, by being in a car her hair is being blown in the wind, this is a natural effect without having to have any system of set - up. I am inspired by this and i think that this type of shot would be quick and easy to do and give a great effect for my own music video.
This is a close-up. I like how the shot is on the feet, which are clearly upside down, then it pans down to see her legs and reveal the whole artist. This has a great effect as at first the viewer is almost confused. The white background against the jet black heels looks really effective as it has a good contrast.
what i like about this shot is the use of all the actors/actresses in the frame dancing. they are blacked out so you can't actually see much detail however, with the effect of the lighting it seems like there are a lot more people than there actually is. this is a really useful technique when it comes to getting people to be in your music video as you may not be able to get a mass of people so by angling the shot correctly you can give the effect of a much fuller frame. Also as the people are dancing they're motion has made the image of there arms blurred. this looks really good as nothing is clear and the viewers get a sense that they are almost involved in the party. It is also a cutaway shot as the action going on does not involve the main focus (Kesha) as she's not visible in this shot. This is effective when trying to vary the action and keep the viewers interested.
i like this long shot as the background (the sky) is really clear and it makes the artist stand out against it. all of the colours blend in together and her costume goes well with the location.
this is a long shot, i really like the background as the artist is in this aisle between hills. Her outfit is really interesting as from her previous outfit this one doesn't really fit with the set and it's like she's making a statement. the colours in the shot go well with her bold hair colour and bring focus onto the artist.
this is an establishing shot, it's really hard to see but by the tree is the artist Rihanna. Because it's at such a distance you can't really see much action however, it allows the viewers to get a feel of the location.
This close-up shot is good in the music video as most of the shots are from a distance because most of the time there's a lot to focus on in the background. This shot gives a detailed viewing of the artist. Her hair is covering her right side of her face and her arm is still in the frame to give an impression of disguise or mystery.
i really light the lighting in this medium shot. the use of sunshine as natural light is really effective however, the director has angled it really well. Also the contrasts of the lighting works really well with the music video as its all slightly pinky, this goes well with the set as it's like a dessert.
i like this frame as it is in slow motion. The black background really brings out the red hair of the artist and the lighting on her face brings out her facial features. This helps show the emotions and expressions on the artists face. Her body language is extreme and her side profile brings a variation of angles to the video.
this is an establishing shot as it shows where the location of the music video is. the viewer can vaguely see the person in the video as the focus is more on the settings and scenery. The plot line to this video is very crucial to understand so by having an establishing shot at the beginning really helps the viewers keep in sync with the plot line.
This is a close-up shot and the reason why i felt it was interesting as the person to the right is whispering in the other girls ear, however, the sound has been cut out so the viewers don't know what she's saying. They have put a close-up here to make sure that the viewers acknowledge this action and so that there is little detail from the surroundings showing in order to really bring attention to the action.
This is also a close-up shot which is used well as it's the first time the viewer see's the artist therefore, having a main focus on her face to introduce her is a good way of the viewers getting familiar with the singer. Depth of field is also used here as the background is out of focus and the artist is, this is a great professional effect and i have been taught how to do this and will definitely be including it in my music video.
i really like this medium shot because the camera focus on the artist is really detailed and the picture is extremely clear. Also i like the fact how they have angled the shot so that there is only the sky in the background. This is a good technique to pict up as i can carry it out when shooting my music video and it also fits in really well with the video and it's a natural background.
I really like angel of this close-up shot. It uses depth of field which looks really good as the chains in the background are out of focus and the action of the artist is in focus. the angel is good as the lighting streaming through gives a nice natural effect.
this is a medium shot. I really liked this shot as its compeltely focusing on the artist hwoever, we can still see whats happening in the background. All of the buildings are being pulled up to the center which is enclosing on the artist. Her outfit in the video plays an important part as it's so bright coloured that it makes sure that the attention is on her. It also creates a ncie contrast to the background in this shot.
This would obviously be a very hard shot to include in my music video however, i thought id analyse this shot as the special effects are really good. it's an extreme long shot and shows all the action going on in the frame.
This is an establishing shot and it's at the very end of the video. It's good as it goes with the story line as throughout the video Willow Smith has been creating this city and now she's finally finished the viewers get to see the final result. I like the lighting and hwo it creates big shadows of the buildings.
This is a long shot. i really like how the shot/ and beginning of the video is in black and white. i presume that this little girl is the younger version of the artist 'Rihanna.' This is a good technique as it brings a story to the music video, this means that the viewers are more likely to be more interested in the video and lyrics.
This is an establishing shot. it's from a distance so the viewers can take in the background and have more of a sense of location. The black and white affect goes really well with the scenery as it exaggerates the fact that its winter and gives a dim and dull atmosphere which is great as in the next shot it's such a contrast. it goes from one extreme to another which really uplifts the music video.
i like this shot because of the lighting. the director has created a silhouette of the artist, with the use of a colourful light. This has a good effect in the music video because the viewers really focus on the outline of the body and the actions. Also as the title is 'all of the lights' the lighting is pretty important in the music video and the viewer can see they've exaggerated this by using a lot of different coloured lights.
I really loved this close-up shot in the music video as there was really fast editing cutting from this frame, to another one which is just below ↓. also as you can faintly see from the picture the frame was fading in the way you could see the one below and this frame on top of each other like a two layers however, this frame was almost transparent. This is a really good effect and if i could include this in my music video i believe it would give it a professional effect.
i liked this long shot as, (from the description above) you can see how it was introduced with quick editing which gave a great effect. i also like the use of props in the shot, as the artist is standing on top of a police car which has really bright lights. it's an original idea and works really well with the video.
this is an extreme close-up which i liked because of it's a focus on the artist singing, however, the lighting on her face is flashing and changes colour really quickly. It also had the same editing effect as the two shots above. This goes well with the effect of the flashing lights as well.
This shot is a mixture of shots that was taken at different distances but they fade in and out of each other. it's effect is that it makes what could be one simple frame more interesting as the artist is still carrying out the same actions but shows different angles of it. i also found it interesting that the artist had his back to the camera and that the viewer got a side portfolio of his face, it makes the actions of the video and movements differ from other music videos and also keeps a good variety of angles in the video.
I really at the end of the music video. They've done it on special effects where the screen looks as if it's just been switched off, like on a television. this is a good idea as it's original and unique and lets the music video have a more memorable ending.
I like this shot as it's pointing upwards to the sky and all objects in view almost look upside down. It's similar to a point of view shot as whats in view in the shot is the same as if someone was looking upwards. The angel of this shot makes the buildings look like they're closing inwards and as the video goes on the camera stays at this angel but moves forward. It is great with the theme of the video as it over exaggerates the point that the location is in the city.
This is an extreme close-up to the artist singing. in some music videos i've researched i'm finding that an extreme close-up of the artists mouth whilst they're singing is becoming rather common. I feel that this is because it gives a good effect and instead of my natural thought to make my music video slightly different and unique, i feel that i must feature this classic shot in my video. The shot is also z as the face of the artist is in focus and the background is out of focus; this draws more attention towards the artist and a great depth of field.
this camera angle is from a birds eye view. this is a great shot to fit everything in the frame and fits in rather well with this shot. It doesn't capture all the small details, i.e the artists facial expressions, but but having most of her body in the frame we get a clear sense of location and the theme that goes with the shot. The lighting in this shot is rather bright, considering the music video is made at night time. This is in order to make the picture clear.
this is a medium shot as we can't exactly see the whole of the artists body.I really like the use of background in this shot and how we can only see the silhouette of the artist. Its really effective when the director is trying to make the focus on the artists dancing. With the right lighting and camera angels this might be a possible shot i could pull off in my music video.
This is a long shot, in this shot it includes the full shot; which is of the whole body. the shot is interesting as it looks really professional, however, the artist isn't really doing much. This shot would be hard to do in my music video as i wouldn't have the access to a studio, yet, i can take tips from the effects of the shot. Even outside of a studio i could still use this shot, as i like the effect of having a full shot of the artist/s.
This is a close-up shot, it's pretty easy to adapt and a good shot to include when making a music video. This one in particular is good because of the lighting on her face. I like the how the lighting is because it creates a shadow on her face.
With this shot the camera moves right then left according to the lyrics. I thought it brought variety to the video and thought it was a technique i could possibly replicate in my music video.
i really liked this shot because of the good use of props. Fitting the artist into a dolls house looks really unique and interesting. The house is in the centre of the shot to bring a lot of attention to the artist, as well as, the background being simple.
this is an extreme close-up. this shot is replacing a dolls eye with the artists, i thought it was a really good idea and flows with the dolls house example. The doll is in focus, which creates a depth of field. Shots like these is the main reason why i chose this video to analyse as all shots really dedifferentiate themselves form each other and they're rather doable without a professional filming studio.
This extreme close-up shows the good quality lip syncing of the artist. The diamonds draw more attention to her lips as well which overall is a great effect. This is good for thinking of make-up/props thta can make my music video more exciting and look professional.
This is a long shot where the artist is ripping a 'price tag' in half. i like this shot as tis from a good distance and lets you see the full body of the artist. Again the background is very plain so it draws all attention to Jessie and her actions.
this shot is from above and looking down, its a very long shot but great for capturing everything in the picture. i could use a crane in order to carry this out in my music video, which could give me nice variations of shots ot keep the video interesting.
