Shot 5

This is an Extreme Close Up of our performers mouth. We decided to use this shot in order to present a variation of camera angles. We were able to show our skills using Mac software through being able to synchronise the movement of our characters mouth with the lyrics of the song. We got this idea from other music video’s that we researched on the internet as we thought it gave off an effective appearence.

Shot 6 Here our character is filmed in a Tracking Long Shot as she walks through the busy streets of Manchester. This is again to show how she is individual to those around her but also the start of her busking journey on this particular night. We used many Long Shots from different angles and montaged them together to create the effect that she was making her way through the streets. Her clothes help her stand out from the crowed so we can easily identify her ask the busker.

Shot 7 In our video we also used Green Screen technology as we wanted to create an edgy effect where the words our character was singing appeared next to her. We filmed her in both Mid Shot and Close Up angles miming the lyrics and later used the Mac Computer Software to experiment with different backgrounds, word fonts and colours. We then decided to use a plain black background and brightly coloured Font for our final product. The words were individually made and then placed in time with the lyrics.

Shot 8In between our montage shots we used Establishing Shots of speeded up cars to reinforce the “life in the city” theme and to break up the constant focus on our character. When the clips are speeded up the lights from the cars create a dramatic and urban city effect.

Shot 11In this shot we purposely filmed our

character in Close Up counting money. This was to emphasise that

she was making money from her busking as the final shot shows her giving her earnings to a homeless

person living on the streets.We decided to make this the main

story line as we wanted our character to seem different to your average person. We wanted to her

‘happy go lucky’ personality and how she puts others before herself

to come across in our filming .

Shot 12

In one of our final shots we changed the location of our filming to and urban skate park in Manchester City Centre and filmed our character in Long Shot and Close Up. She performed different dance moves and mimed lyrics whilst skaters moved behind her to give our filming more realistic effect.
