Simillar Camera

To understand the nesscary camera angles and durations of shots, I compared a simillar music video that had many of the shots in both music videos. The music video that i compared our artist's music video with is 'Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles'.

The reason for using this artist's music video is due to the fact that long shots are very heavily featured within her video. Wide angles and ariel shots are also used often compared to extreme close ups. The reasoning for this, is that it allows the viewer to really gather the understanding of the narrative that is created.

Also within both music videos, the duration of shots are slow. Again, creating a more in depth focus to the linear narrative. However, there is a risk with a slow cutting rate, as the audience could become bored and lose concentrating, compared to a faster cutting rate.

Now that i have created a greater understanding for camera angles within a music video, simillar to the artist that i have chosen. I now understand that long shots and wide angles are nesscary to use to make it clear to the audience what is happening. However, with filming our music video, I feel that the cutting rate will be quicker to grab a greater understanding of the narrative within the video.
