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.

Task 2: Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos

Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos Everything produced in media has codes and conventions and music videos are no exception. A code or convention is like a guideline of rules that music videos often follow that are always dependable on genre or style. The main conventions for music videos relate to camera shots and angles, editing, lyric interpretation, extending or consolidating songs meanings and allusion. Lyric Interpretation - lyrics being shown as a music video and this catches the audiences attention and it could make them sing along or even understand what the song is about. (Lyrical Video from The Chainsmokers - Closer) Extending or consolidating   - Extending or consolidating a song's meaning in a music video is when you use symbolism and things in the mis-en-scene to further push the meaning of the song or to add more of a meaning to a song or to just bring the lyrics together into a visual explanation of what the song actu...

Research Of Own Film

Name Of Film: Too Brisk, Too Quick The idea i have for making this film is a sequel of a group of people racing and also it will involve action too (bringing down villains and enemies). I hope to base my film on the famous "Fast And Furious" franchise as it is such an eye popping film and it is very interesting. Production Companies Orignal Film Relativity Media One Race Films Media Rights Capital Perfect World Pictures EuropaCorp TF1 Films Production Genre Of Film I am going to make a movie based on racing but also an involvement of Action & Drama too. The reason why i am including sub-genres is because a movie with just cars and racing could potentially become boring to most of the viewers and to avoid this from happening is by adding different scenes in to add excitement and stimulate more adrenaline through the viewer. Also by adding more genres to this film would help the film have more of a meaning to why it was made other than just cars racing for...

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...
