Camerawork in Our Video

In our music video, camerawork can be seen as a very important part of the indie/folk genre. Below is a in-depth description of the different types of camerawork in our video.

Shot Types.

In Indie Folk genre a variety of different camera shots were used to convey the narrative/performance in their video's.
We want to conform to the Indie/Folk genre so therefore we will be using the same camera shots as many indie folk video's. Such shots as closeups, long shots, medium shots, extreme long and extreme closeups, these are all extremely common in the indie folk videos we have watched before.

Below are some examples of the shots we specifically will be using in our video (We took shots of Lissie, our artists, other music video to show what shots we will be using):

 Medium  Shots
                                     Close Ups

Extreme Long Shots

                                        Long Shots


         
Medium Long Shots





We will be aiming to using as many as these shots as possible as they are conventional to the Indie Folk genre and also Lissie's music videos. Some of the shots such as an extreme long shots are slightly ambitious as it depends solely on the locations we have chosen and if we will be able too as some locations may cause a danger for us to film certain shots.

Camera Movement.

In our video we want there to be minimal movement as in the indie folk genre there is usually not that much movement, such as tracking/crane movements. However a convention of the indie folk genre is hand held camera work.

We will be using handheld only as we do not have the equipment to conduct tracking/crane movement etc.

Camera Angles.

In Indie Folk music videos, camera angles is not a prominent part of camerawork and is usually very basic and doesn't really include many angles. However we want to challenge this convention and use camera angles. We will be using both high and low camera angles as it gives a new perspective to the video that we would like to achieve it also keep the video interesting and stops the audience from being bored.
