Cinematography and Editing Techniques.

The cinematography and editing techniques i want to use need to make my music video stand out and look alternative.

For the cinematography i want to use close up shots in quite a few of my shots which require the audience to see emotion and facial expressions when it comes to understanding the narrative of my music video so that they can see and understand the emotion of the character. This cinematography on the faces will enable this along with the misenscene of the shot.

Long shots will also be required in my music video for the shots which require the audience to see the whole object or character in the shot. A long or establishing shot will be needed in my music video for the shot which is of the starry sky which is shot 18 as this shot requires lots of the night sky to be shown. When editing this shot i may need to place an edit on it so that it can be seen more clearly as it will be dark outside therefore may not been seen.

For shot 3 i will use a long shot and then maybe cut to a mid shot for the car as i feel this effect would look and work well on my music video. For shot 8 i will use a mid close up shot of the two hands holding. I am using this cinematography as i want the camera and audience to focus on the two hands holding as it is the man thing i am wanting to catch in this shot therefore the camera must focus on this.

Most of the edits that will need to be on my shots for the music video will need to brighten the shot so an edit which will bring out and make the colour stand out will need to be used. As a bright and colourful music video is stereotypical and indicative for a pop punk genre music video. When looking at pop punk music videos i found that the majority of pop punk music videos are bright and colourful.

For shot 21 the cinematography for this shot will have to be an extreme close up as this shot is of the female characters eyes and i want the eyes to take up most of the shot and most of the screen on the complete final film.In shot 17 i will use a long shot and use a pan shot to catch the two characters running away on screen. This will also catch all of the action of them running away which is what i am wanting for that shot.
