Research and planning- Shotlist





Type of shot
Reason/description

First shot

Close up
I have a band, there are close-ups of the band to give the audience another focus feature throughout the song

Second shot
midshot
this shot was used to highlight that the environment isn't the main focus but instead the main character, it shows us a little bit of how the character feels and shows his point of view in the sense he is bored and tired in the scene

Third shot
long shot/ two shot
This is showing everyone in the shot, it is always showing all the character's point of view and also giving a connotation that life for the character is like a long empty pathway.

Fourth shot
wide shot/weather shot
This shot was used to emphasise the mise en scene which is that the character is in a playground but he is by himself, it outlines the themes of loneliness and isolation. this shot was also a weather shot as you can see that it is raining, which sets the tone of the production in the sense that rain is often used when a situation or person is depressed or upset.                                             

Fifth shot
Long shot
Another long shot was used to show the journey towards friendship and moving away from isolation and  “ becoming  numb”

Sixth shot
Close up shot

Another close up shot of the band to break up the main storyline and showcase the tiny performance element of the music video.

Seventh shot
Mid shot

A mid shot is being used to show how everyone is on the inside but the main character is on the outside.

Eighth shot
Point of view shot
Used to show how the character feels when entering the room, will he be welcomed? What will people think/ it leaves the character aware of his surroundings but also makes him intrigued.

ninth shot
over the shoulder shot

This shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view.

Tenth shot
Medium close up
It focuses on all the characters however it doesn’t indicate that there is a main focus within the scene.

Eleventh shot
Long shot (camera angle tilted)
This was a long shot but the angle of the shot was tilted, this is showing the climax built up within the scene. As we can see everything within the shot and we can see how the character goes from calm to aggressive.

Twelfth shot
Close up
The setting has changed however the close up enables us to focus solely on the state and facial expression of the main character.


Thirteenth shot
Extreme close up
Like the twelfth shot the extreme shot is used to also show the facial expression and feeling of the character, but the close up can also be used to help the audience empathise with the character, they’re so close him it feels like they are him, and they are going through everything the main character is going through.

Fourthteenth shot
close up shot
You can see that a point of view shot is being used to show the solution that the character has come to.





Type of shot
Reason/description
Fifth teeth shot
Low angle shot
The low angle shot was used to exaggerate the building used within the suicide plot, it makes the building seem very high up, essentially it is supposed to add an element of fear to my music video
Sixteenth shot
Close up

Again another shot used to break up the main story line and focus on the band. It is also used to show to show the different types of music videos used such as performance videos and narrative based video.
Seventeenth shot
Close-up
Shot of me unconscious, highlights the new state and new environment my character ends up it.
Eighteenth shot
Long shot
The same shot as the fifth shot, but the reverse effect is used to challenge the time frame, rather than having all my shots running in order the reverse scenes indicate that the video contains a flashback.
Nineteenth shot
Wide shot/weather shot
Same as the third shot and like the eighteenth shot, it is also used to challenge the typical time frame; it essentially continues showing the flashback within the music video.
Twentieth shot
Close up
It shows the character waking up in the new environment, almost like the character has recovered from a coma.
Twenty-first shot
Worms eye view

Showing the character risking his life from a high setting, it is showing the, it is clear he is contemplating suicide as there was the conventional high building being used.
Twenty second shot
Close-up
It shows the character waking up from his state, it indicates that he maybe jumped and he has recovered from it.
Twenty Third shot

He wakes up in the classroom; this indicates that the whole video is a dream.
