Inspirational Shots and Techniques

Potential Shots

 These three snaps, to the left; the poster and the concert are from the music video 'You and Me' by Disclosure featuring Eliza Doolittle. The video features a love story and I really like the way it is shot. The low angle on the couple is really effective as it shows the song is solely about

them and the attraction they have for each other. I like the fact they go to a Disclosure concert in a Disclosure song. The snappit from the concert shows they at it and the craziness of the shooting at the concert.

The screenshot above and the gif below this are from the music video 'Thinking about it' by Just Kiddin. I really like the mid shot used on the couple in this shot plus the location used and their style of outfits. It is really fitting to the type of music video that I want to produce as they are a couple and that is the sort of thing I want in my video. 

The gif below shows them walking through the arcade and then running towards the game they like holding hands. The slow motion effect used is really effective and a popular technique used my producers of music videos recently (especially more up beat songs).

 The gif to the right here is from the music video 'shy' by The Magician. Of whom I have mentioned in my blog before. The thing I like about this video and the style it is shot in, is the backwards and forwards editing. The editing is in time with the beat of the music as well which is a really difficult technique to get right and if pulled off looks first class. The angles of shooting in this gif to are clever. You will notice the camera is placed underneath to make the actors seem bigger and the main focus behind the video.

The shooting in the newsagents/corner shop in this picture is from the music video 'seeing is believing' (also previously mentioned in my blog). I like the fact the camera is filming them from outside of the girls inside. It is almost like it is hiding as if the actors don't want to be filmed. Which is strange because in most music videos it is mainly about the focal pint of the video being the actor.

From 'Best is yet to come', this filming is set in a nightclub. I obviously won't have the facilities to film in this sort of location however a party would be an appropriate location for parts of my filming. And the reason I have selected this gif, is because I like the way it is shot with the light, dancing and props like the bottles in the ice bucket.
