In this shot we tried to include various elements of what we had learnt so far in the making of the video. At first, we tried an over the shoulder shot, but as we wanted to include the mirror, the camera could be seen in the mirror. We then decided to do our own low angle shot from the side of the characters waist, as this image included everything that the over the shoulder shot did. We then decided to include titles in the video, and thought this shot would be perfect for the artists name.
In this shot, we tried to create our own DIY crane shot, with the help of a small outbuilding on the school grounds. We felt that this shot made a good transition from the previous shot (a long shot from the other side), and it also created a sense of the character HB being constantly watched, as he is a very sought after rapper. In the editing stage I decided to fade this shot into the next close up of me in the studio as I thought the video needed a wide variety of shot transitions instead of just straight cuts.
We used this shot as a recurring image throughout the video. We thought it added another dimension to the artists profile (not only are the audience seeing him in an urban environment, they now see him in a studio environment). This idea was inspired by the studio shots used in The Games' 'Dreams' video (photo below) which I have previously included in this blog (Below).
