Mise-en-Scene - Camera - Adam Jones

One camera shot we will be using throughout our music video is long-shots. The reason for this is that a long-shot will show the performer as well as the fact that it establishes the location that the characters/performers are in.

Another camera shot that will be involved within our music video is close-ups. Close-ups are used to show who the artist is, the reason for this is that the audience can then build their own relationship with the artist. Close-ups also allow the audience to see the artist’s facial features clearly such as their eyes.

We will also use mid-shots throughout the duration of our music video. Mid-shots will also allow the audience to build their own personal relationship with the artist due to the fact that as well as being able to see the artist’s facial expressions they will also have visual access to the artist’s body language.

Throughout our music video we will also be including several low angle shots. The reason for this is that low angle shots show the singers dominance over the audience. The reason for this is that a low angle shot symbolises the camera looking up to the artist, which shows that the artist is dominant in terms of wealth/class and importance.

As well as using camera shot we will also be including camera movements within our music video for Justin Timberlake’s – last night. We will be using panning as a way of showing the activities of the characters/performers. Panning movement will be able to show the audience where the artist has come from and where they are going. This camera movement will mainly be used throughout the course of the park location. The reason for this is that this is the location which involves the most walking for the chearacters/performers.
