Homework: Camera Shots Of A Music Video

           Lil Wayne Ft. Bruno Mars - Mirror

 In this music video, the frequently used camera shot was close up and the reason for this is because the song is sad and the director of the music video wants to show Wayne's & Bruno's emotion throughout the 4 mins of the track. There were also shots such as mid-range, tilting, tracking, panning & long shot.
Bruno's Close Up
With this camera angle been used the viewers of this music video get to see how the artist is feeling whilst the music track continues to play.

Panning
(3.12 - 3.17 on the music video)
The panning was used to create happiness, suspense or tension in either way as Wayne was finishing his spray painting on the wall which could be a sign of happiness infact.

Tracking
(1.06 - 1.08, 2.32 - 2.38 & the majority of the music video)
The tracking shot was used effectively and in a way it relates to panning abit because when it was tracking Wayne's movement the camera was swaying side to side. Tracking is very useful and the reason why the Director of the music video used it is because he wants the audience/viewers to be engaged with Wayne/Bruno, they are trying to make the viewers think they're face to face with the celebrities.

Tilting
(3.41 - Till Music Video Cuts)
At the moment the music track finishes, the camera comes out of the close up shot, and goes into long shot where Wayne is facing the spray painting he just created. The tilt isn't major but it still has an effect on the audience because it's implying that the Music video has finished as it zoomed out on Wayne and it cropped in the spray painting.

Long Shot & Mid-range
Long shot is used to give the viewers of the video of where the music video is set and how the person may feel about being in a certain situation. Here Wayne has been blacked out which probably suggests that he is isolated from the things he once had and you could see him kicking over a tin of paint which could show anger. This shot is important as well because you could see how the persons body language is expressed.
Last of all the midrange shot (inbetween close up & long shot) this shot has more detail than long shot, meaning you could see what's going on in the background and how the body language is represented by the celebritrity, you could also see Wayne's packs in detail and you could also tell the colour shades he is wearing. This shot is normally used if the main person in a certain type of song is telling a story or some sort so you could clearly see hand movement, gestures and body language in full on detail.

Evaluation

My final production resulted to something different to what I had planned. The order of shots and scenes were placed in a different order opposing to the suggesting storyboard. This was mainly because one of the actors was not able to make it in on the desired shooting day and it lead to me making a few last minute arrangements. The beginning of my project was to start with a flashback scene of me mixing songs as it shows what I do in my free time. The reason why I couldn't film it and include it in my video was because I didn't have a tripod at the time to place behind me and capture me actually mixing the songs in real time. As this was a problem, I decided to make an introduction with myself rapping a part of my song to the camera in selfie-mode. Despite the fact that I had to rearrange a few scenes and include new ones, the whole production didn't come out badder than I thought. I managed to fit in close-ups, mid-range shots and also a established shots too. Establish...

1. I think my audience's expectation would be something that catches their attention to the eye. They would expect to see a plot that encourages adrenaline which would spark the "action" to progress in the film. Commonly in an action films my audience would love to see popular stars name on the billing block before they watch the movie because it gives them a brief idea of how this movie could be like if they watch it. For example, they would base my movie on the way that actor has given a certain amount of energy to previous movies and it would encourage/discourage the audience to watch my film. In addition to that, I have included a lot of big stars to my movie so i have no doubt that my audience would be discouraged to watch my film. 2. The emotional response i would love to receive from my target audience is excitement because my movie will contain "ooh ahh" scenes and unrealistic events happening but at the same time i wouldn't want to encourage my vie...

Single Camera Production Assignment

Introduction Single camera production is the use of one camera within the media production, whether it be a music video, short film or even a movie. Single camera production also tends to use different camera angles and often requires a lot of editing after shooting. Single camera production is commonly associated with low budget films & film companies as they haven't got sufficient funding to purchase many high quality cameras for a film production. Advantages & Disadvantages Of Single Camera Production The advantages of a single camera production is that it makes the viewer feel like they are in the scene with one continuos shot. This encourages the viewer to feel more emotions than a film with more than one camera because the use of one camera establishes that the viewer is at the exact scene in real time. Another advantage is that it is cheap, this is good for low budget film producers as they don't have as much money to purchase more than one camera. Consideri...
