Planning cinematography

Close-ups:

As our music video is narrative based; we feel that by having close ups of the artist not only connects the demogaph and artist but also shows the raw emotion from the actors to engage our viewers.
This will be perfect with certain lyrics of the song to become clearer but also more forceful and dynamic. Also for a common feature in an R&B video it would be necessary to apply extreme close-ups to jewellery or expensive items to show the glamourous lifestyle.




Long shot:                                                                                                         


Focussing on certain scenes, we will show a variety of long shots of London citie and the forest to show the comparasons of the two. Also by using a long shot the audience can acknowledge what the star is wearing and make the actors in the shot appear inferior to the audience.

 

Midshots:

We feel that by applying midshots, it will be easier for us to showcontinuaty as we want the editing to be consistant and naturalistic which would really help in making our video appear narrative as the audience will be purely focusing on the actors and not what is in the background of the set. This will also benifit us as the adience can pay close attention to the facial expresssions and hand gestures.





Panning:

A panning shot could look effective when the 'Alice' of the video, starts to get wraped up in this so called "luxourous lifestyle" and the panning shot can be used to state her confussion as it all becomes to much for her. This would be effective as it will show 'Alice' losing control and will help the demographic feel sympathetic towards the actress which will hopefully connect the artist and auduience which is our aim.
