Researching camera angles

Adele - Rolling in the deep

I think that the side on of the artists face works really well in this and I think that it would work well to do a side on shot like this of Skye as Andrew Goodwin suggests that close ups of the artist look good in videos. I think that the side angel works really well as it makes a different from other straight up mid shots and creates a different feel.

Andrew Goodwin suggests that there is a need for close ups so I have looked at this image and I think that this shot would work well in our video. I think that the angle works well because it isn't front on but a little to the side. The close up makes it easier to see the artist and it uses the male gaze. 

I really like the angle of this because it is straight on but the chair is turned to a slight angle which I think works really well and makes the artist stand out a lot more which I think makes the whole shot more effective. I think that it helps to focus a lot on the mise en scene as it is a long shot so I think that long shots are very important when looking at the mise en scene.

Jar of hearts

I really like the angle of this shot on the stairs because you can see the side of the stairs and you can see the artist from side on which I think works really well. Andrew Goodwins theory about the male gaze works well here. I think that having the artist in the foreground and the stairs in the background works really well. 

I really like the shot of her shoes because I think that it focuses well at this point as you have the car in the foreground which I think works really well. I really like how it doesn't show her face as it build up suspicion as you don't know whats going to happen and also build up suspense. I think that having the care it works well as it focuses on the shoes and you can tell that it is a focus coming up. 

I also like the shot of her walking behind the car as you can again see it in the foreground which I think works really well and it makes it a big focus and seeing as our song is called 'Fast Car' I think that it is a good idea to use a car in this way.

I really like how the person is in the foreground ad the car is in the background. I really like that its to a slight angle because I think that it looks better and it means you can see more of the car and the person rather than a straight shot.

I really like how there is a shot of him walking as we want Skye to be walking past a road and I think that this shot and angle works really well because you can see all of the surroundings as it is a long shot. 

I really like how you can see the car moving from this angle but I know we wouldn't be able to do this so hopefully we can use a camera inside and get a view of the surroundings. 

Taylor Swift - Fifteen 

I think that the side close up works really well as it makes a change from the front up close ups throughout the video. It takes into account some of the background which I think works really well. 

I clipped out the lips on the shot because I really like how there is a close up of the lips on this shot because I think that it works really well because it makes you focus on the lyrics. I think this would be a good shot to have in our music video as I think that it will work really well throughout the video if it is used only a few times as it will focus on certain words. 

This shot is a really good shot that we would really like to achieve because we like how the angle is just straight on in a field and I like how there is a tree and how the guitar is a focus. I think that this straight on angle works well for viewing the whole picture and I think that the long shot works really well because you can see all of the landscape and the background. I think that this could look very effective and it makes the guitar a focus and helps the music show through the imagery. It has been done in various other videos with guitars and I think that it works really well as it makes the guitar and the music stand out. 

I really like this angle because it isn't a straight on close up of the artist there is various parts of the background involved in the shot which I think works really well. I think that it works really well having most of the face in the shot but not all of the face because it makes it more unusual and it brings focus to her facial features with the use of a close up.

I think that the close up of her legs works really well because it focuses of the flowers in the foreground and instead of having bare feet it would be good to focus on the shoes that Skye is wearing. I think that it works really well having the camera at the feet because it takes eyes of the male gaze and keeps your attention on the foreground and the mise en scene.
