SHOT LISTBy Jake Taylor

CLOSE-UP• In our music video we use a wide range of different

close ups throughout. We have decided to do this so the audience can see all of the facial expressions clearly of the actor and this allows them to be able to assess how the character is feeling. In Grime videos, close ups are used all the time to emphasise something. For example, if there was a certain word in a song and they wanted the audience to notice it, they would do a close up of rather the actor or the prop and display it clearly for the audience to notice. In our music video, we have used a range of different close ups in order to make the audience connected to the performance in which is taken place.

LONG SHOTS• We used some long shots within the music video

in order to give the audience a more detailed setting. While the focus is on characters, plenty of background detail still emerges, and this is shown in one of our main shots where even though the actor is very close, the background shows a lot more detail which is what we want the audience to focus on. We also used a long shot at the very end of the video in which shows one of the main actors walking away from the camera into the distance still showing all of the graffiti along the side of him.

LOW ANGLE • In our music video we used a low angle shot which

we done uniquely by having the camera face up to the actor which made it look as if he had power. By doing this it looks as if the audience is looking up to him and it makes him look superior. Behind the actor was a huge wall of graffiti which stood out even more which made it even more successful of a shot. Also this graffiti made the low angle shot look better due to graffiti linking well to danger which made this location fit well with the genre. We also used a low angle shot right at the beginning of the video, this is where the camera faces straight up a building which is covered in graffiti.

EXTREME CLOSE UP• At the very start of the music video we

used an extreme close up on a character lighting a cigarette. The reason we decided to make this an extreme close up was because we wanted to make the audience feel as if they were the ones doing it and see all of the detail in which is going on. Extreme close ups are normally used to focus on a certain part of a subject which is normally a person, and it is done to create emotion.

ESTABLISHING SHOT• We used establishing shots at the very

start of our music video. As the music starts to play, I decided to use a range of props and and different locations in order for the audience to know what type of genre the video is associated with. These establishing shots can tell the audience what type of genre it is and what the next couple of shots will look like.

MID SHOTS• We decided to use a range of mid shots

when we wanted to show the audience the actors performance within the music video. For example we jumped from a close up straight to a mid shot which shows the actor moving his hands to create certain actions and we wanted the audience to see this and by having this is made the music video look a lot more creative.

TRACKING SHOT• A tracking shot is when a camera follows a

person or an object physically moving with the subject. In our music video we decided to do this with both props and our actors because we wanted the audience to always stay connected to them. For example, we done this when we wanted the audience to see a range of different graffiti around and we also followed our actors in the video for the audience to see all of their actions which they make. In the grime videos we analysed, they don’t use the tripod and they rely on still hand movement.
