1. a shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals
This shot of Tom happens in the second verse of the song where the line "If the devil offers no then i will say". The shot is queued in on the word devil. This is to say that Tom is meant to represent evil and sadness as he is refusing the man his loan/application.
2. a shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented
This shot typifies the band as it has them all playing their instruments and performing the song. This gives the video a feel of authenticity and puts forth a confirmation that they write their own songs. This gives the band an authentic feel when you see them.
3. a shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre
This shot illustrates the way the video uses genre as it shows an acoustic guitar being played with a sepia filter over the top. The song is fairly country/rock the band calls it's music neo-psychedelic rock but this song sounds more country-like and the sepia filter along with the instruments being played gives off that feel
4. a shot that shows an intertextual reference
This shot shows the band setting up for busking. This shot reminded me of the music video of badly drawn boy busking for his video of All Possibilities. In the video Badly Drawn boy is seen busking live and seems to be the only video that does this, although in our video we didn't actually busk this shot makes it seem as though we did.
5. a shot that demonstrates your use of camera
This shot really epitomises our use of camera. It really nicely frames the banker and the man arguing over something and a motion effect was put on this clip so it zooms in slowly. This gave the shot a very cinematic feel and makes it obvious that this part is about the story.
6. a shot that demonstrates your use of lighting
We filmed this shot on the Grand Arcade car park roof which we were later kicked off of but we luckily managed to get some really good shots, such as this one. The composition of the sky with the city makes this a really nice shot as Rob is almost surrounded by the light of the sky which really benefits this shot a lot.
7. a shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-scene
Unfortunately our film used almost no Mese on Scene at all as most the shots are just us playing the guitar and only the shot in the bank has the most interesting props but it's hard to see most of it so i chose this shot. While brief it shows the buskers setting up at another location. All three of the buskers are seen in the shot, they are taking their guitars out of their cases. The cases appear to be the only props really but its a nice little addition to see.
8/9. Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos
The problem is our video doesn't borrow any features that a specific to certain videos but an obvious feature which is seen in other music videos is a shot of the band performing. The first shot shows a whole band performance throughout the video they are seen in different locations but this was framed quite well. This kind of shot is seen in most video where the band is seen performing the song, such as in the music video for Henrietta where the band is seen performing in the streets as seen below
The second shot show the singer playing and singing the song on his own which is a classic shot found in many music videos, as it's normally what the fans want to see. This happens a lot in the music video for Letters from the sky by Civil Twilight. The singer is seen on his own at the beginning and at other parts of the video as seen below
