Shot TypesIn this PowerPoint, I will be

explaining why I used certain shot types whilst filming in The

Harrison Pub.

I recorded my artist lip synching with this shot. I have used the rule of thirds, and added strong lighting to the stage which allows my artist to be highlighted and be the main focus. This shot worked out well as my artist looked at the camera every now and then to show he’s interacting with the audience. Also by having this shot type, the audience were able to clearly look at the artist lip synching. I recorded my artist lip synching from this angle a few times, however I used different lighting each time such as a purple and red effect. This gave the video a vintage/retro effect.

I recorded my artist lip synching with this shot. I positioned the camera so the audience/viewers can see part of the setting my artist was in. For example, I purposely put the big speaker in the shot to portray that the artist is performing live on a stage. Again I used strong lighting to highlight certain features on the artist. I also used this shot type to give the audience the artist’s style. For example, his hair is shown clearly in this shot. This shot worked out well as by having this, we were able to get the artist to lip synch properly and not mess up as it would be noticeable in this shot. Therefore this shows that he had to be professional about it, and not mess around.

This shot is similar to the previous one. However I thought it was best to try getting in the lights around the bar within the shot. By doing this, it reflected the mood of the song. Also it gives the audience a sense of the artist’s personality. For example, the lights could show that this artist is a chilled out person. Filming this show went well as the artist again got to look at the camera whilst lip synching which shows him being professional as artist’s do that to interact with the audience and make it seem as though they are singing the song to them.

This shot shows the female protagonist whilst she’s kidnapped. I decided to do this as a close up shot because I thought getting the females features would show the audience what she looks like and also highlight her features which would be considered pretty such as the eyes. The lighting in this shot again highlights these features. The close up shots of the female were successful as we were also able to see her expressions clearly and get a sense of what she’s feeling and as if she’s waiting to be saved.
