Yesterday's starter exercise was to list down the typical angles found in a music video. In our class we came up with these:
1. Close-up
2. Extreme close-up
3. Long shot - this is to show/set the scene, establishing it. This can be linked to an establishing shot, which is a shot, normally outside of a building to indicate that the following scene will be set there. A good example of a show which does this is Friends, when there is a scene set in the coffee shop "Central Perk", you know it will be set there as you see the outside of the building. When we see establishing shots and other camera angles, it doesn't necessarily psychologically register, which means it is a camera technique that works!
4. High angle
5. Low angle
6. Aerial
7. Zoom in/out - in A2 production our group can consider not to use the zoom that often as it is not regarded as a professional technique.
8. Tracking
9. Whip Pan - camera moving incredibly fast from one side of a room to another, ie from left to right
10. Master shot - Shot that we keep going back to in a video, so the main shot.
