Cinematography

Cinematography involves art of camerawork. This includes camera shots and camera angles.

Mid shot 

This is a shot taken at a medium distance ; this is a shot between a close up and a long shot. A medium shot enables to view from the waist up. It focuses on body language aswell as facial expressions. This shot allows the audience to look how the character is feeling aswell as what the characters body language says about how the character feels. We will be using a mid-shot when the main actress in our music video will be looking at a picture of her and her ex-love. She is seen ripping the picture in anger. This is conventional to the pop genre as her behaviour is rebellious which is typical to see in pop .music video. Her ripping the image shows her anger and frustration and that relates to her rebellious behaviour typical in pop music video. She feels angry and is heart broken as she loved someone who doesn't love her back.



Close-up

A close-up is when the camera focuses on one part of the shot. This could be the face , feature or a prop. A close up allows to focus one thing that a director wants to focus on as it may symbolize something. It allows the audience to seethe shattering of the glass close to the screen.








long shot ( walking near London eye )

A long shot is when an audience can see everything that goes on in a scene. This includes the background , the props aswell as the artists present in the scene. In my music video I have used a long shot when the couple in my music video is walking near london eye and messing around.This allows the audience to see where the artists is being filmmed and everyhting that is present in the scene aswell as the body language of both the actors.
