Identify how we use Carol

Vernallis’s theory in our music video

Akbar Miah

Obvious editingWe’ve used a jump cut in our first shot to establish the beat of the song and also to fit in the introduction of our story line- when she was walked out of her house

We also used slow motion in that clip to emphasize the happiness of the artists and allows the viewer to focus on the artists facial features.

Camera Movement:We were going to use a pan up and down when the lyrics started, but we had some difficulties due to the weather as it was very poor; this lead to us shooting this scene on two different days. Unfortunately, the two shots were slightly different but we never had a chance to change this and film again.

Camera Movement:

In these shots the camera moves up from the staircase to the artists to show that she is at a different location. We wanted the camera to

move around to give the video movement which we hoped it will interact the viewers more and make the feel as they are also moving.

We also used close ups in our video and made sure we did this because in our lip sync project we didn’t. As it is imperative for all music videos to have close ups.
