mid –shots, Close – ups, Panning – Shots, High angle shots and Long- Shots as well as effects filmed in different locations. Our three main locations were; Shudehill car park, Urbis and Loreto College.
For the very begining of the music video we decided to add a title. It makes the video look more realsitic and professional as ths type of effect is seen on television music channels when inroducing the music video / song.
We used a variety of mid -shots and close -up shots of Sarah as she performed in this scene. This enables the audience to see expressions of anger and frustration on her face as she sings. Also the rainclouds are also darkened and exaggerated in some shots as we used the editing effects that defines them and adds a new dimension of shades. Also as you can see from the screen grab, the rain adds a dreary element to the music video, which is exaggerated through some shots having naturally low-key lighting.
We were inspired by a rooftop performance of the music video of written in the stars, where the performer is on a rooftop and there is also a city skyline visible in the backgrounds.
We thought this was a great shot of Sarah as the background through the window is blurred from the rain keeping the music v
ideos continuity. It also makes Sarah stand out more and is also quite a dark and gloomy shot.
Here we did a mid -shot of John and brightened the shot up using the editing effects adding a very high key lighting effect. Making just so his face is visible as if he is disappearing into the clouds and is barely there. We feel this shot was particularly good as it also allows the audience to identify who the person stood behind Sarah in future shots is, that she keeps looking back at. There is a sight shallow dept of field in this shot in particular as the foreground is mainly in focus yet t
he background is slightly blurred.
This shot was filmed inside in front of a green screen background, which was replaced by a graffiti wall background. The graffiti gives the video more of an edge. It helps represent the pop rock style of music that the video was made for. It was filmed mainly in mid- shots so that expressions are visible as well as the background.
The video has an amplification narrative such as parts of a break –up in flashback shots which fit in with appropriate parts of the lyrics. The extra performer –John – is quickly identified as the ex- boyfriend within the storyline.
Most of the music video is lip synced with the music video except for the two shots of John and Sarah in the flashbacks. It has both performance and narrative elements however there are significant amounts more of performance shots in our music video.
