final music video

camera shots

Close ups- are used to create emotion and tension. The close-up on a characters face makes the audience feel involved with the character.


Extreme close ups- for example a hand on a door handle, where information is withheld from the audience, create suspense or draw attention to something important that will be used after in the narrative, for example a tattoo.

Long shots- are used where more information about the character or the situation is required. Here the audience may be shown the characters and part.

Framing-The framing of our shot is almost identical to the original as the size of the man in both images are practically the same, and the width and height are completely equal. All the elements of our frame were exact and we were very happy with the result.

Lighting- I think our set up is slightly brighter than the original as we used above lights to try and give the impression of a natural lighting. In the original the light comes from the sides and above to focus on the man and we have tried to emulate this by the use of overhead lights and a light from behind the camera. The lighting has the effect of making the image of the man clear, therefore achieving our goal.

Mise en scene- Our costumes choices were very similar to the original, the only difference being the colours of the chequered shirt. We have copied the writing on the paper and all our props used match. The setting of our video was in a completely white room, therefore differing from the original. If we had a similar background available we would have used it but sadly there wasn’t one we could use.

Camera- We used a hand held camera to give a realistic effect to our scene. We have perhaps over done the amount of movement of the camera compared to the original. We have to keep our camera very steady so that it matches the movement of the camera in the original. The angle of our camera matches the height of the actor, therefore fitting the angle used in the original.

Actors- They followed the required movement in the video and copied the original very closely. The timing of the actor’s movement perfectly fits the movement in the original advert, therefore we can deem it as successful.

Three point lighting

key light: 

The key light is the first and usually most important light that a photographer, or other scene composer will use in a lighting setup. The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject.

1. most important light (main one)
2. dramatic light look
3. makes it more even
4. strongest as it gets closer 

fill light: 

A supplementary light used in photography or filming that does not change the character of the main light and is used chiefly to lighten shadows. 

1. light gets safer when you move it away
2. further away makes the light less intense, but also softer as you push it further away.

Hair light:

 A hair light is generally placed behind the model and about 3 feet above the head, with the hight angled down and slightly forward to strike the top of the head and shoulders.

1. makes it looks like a film
2. on its own it makes it look dramatic 
3. makes it looks dreamy 
4. makes it pop out at you when you have all three lights on
