Interesting Shots & Techniques From Other Music Videos

Track - Bitter Sweet Symphony
Artist - The Verve




I really like this video and think that the use of camera work even though its simply is very affective. The big close up of the shoes walking is really effective and is a great start to a video. The quick cuts to POV shots will make our video authentic and i belive the use of shtos that follow him dont only Richard Ashcroft's independence and isolation from society but also conveys an individual self confidence in that he is proud of what he is doing and passionate. This is exactly what we should reflect in ours.


Track: You Give Me Something
Artists : James Morrison




This video has a very community feel where people are brough together to listen to the music on the streets of new york. Using people we know I think this is a good idea. This will increase a variety of camera shots, panning, tracking, POV. James Morrison drops his guitar and is seen lipsyncing to the track while walking along. Our video will suit this well as we plan to use a number of different locations in london.


Track - Chasing Cars
Artist - Snow Patrol




After 1:00 minute there is a clever dissolve edit that looks up at the sky at day and the cameras slowly comes back down and it is night time. This would be a great idea for the very end shot of our video. This will involve staying in London for longer but as it gets dark at around 4:30 it should be fine. I know a great place on Wardour Street next to Soho Square where this could be shot.

I like the way that James Morrison is performing in the middle of a busy city, similar to the idea we have come up with for our own music video...I think CUs and MCUs of the artst playing guitar and lip-synching will be crucial to enhance the authenticity of the talent of our artist, and performance is extremely important for an acoustic track like the one we have chosen.

In the Snow Patrol video I think the POV shot to begin the video is a really good idea...creates a sense of enigma as to who it is, as well as making the video more personal to the audience who is watching.
