Shoot 2 Reflection (Narrative)

For our narrative shoot, we went to the Guernsey Amalgamated Boxing Club to portray our performers thoughts and feeling of heartbreak. Our shoot went successful as we took many clips and followed our narrative performance sheets that we created the week before in preparation for this shoot. We got a range of different shots and concentrated on achieving those close ups of the performers facial reactions.

If we decide to do another shoot for our music video, we have learnt that we need to:

  • Take many close up reaction shots for each scene as they create an engagement in the video.
  • Ensure we have created the most suitable lighting as it changes the atmosphere of the video completely.
  • Ensure that shots are not over exposed as some clips were not effective because the lighting was not correct.
  • Use frame within a frame to create that sense of loneliness in the video as the performer is feeling very isolated and an outcast.
  • Tracking is key when following the performer during the narrative as it gives the sense that the viewer is in the ring with them.

This clip of Tyler putting in his headphones gives a sense of the relationship between the music and the video which is why I think it’s a successful clip from our sequence. It is also includes movement of him continuing to look in mirror to add power to this clip.
