Music Video – Shot List – Performance

My group and I watched three songs from The Beat’s discography. They were, in order, ‘Too Nice to Talk To’, ‘I Confess’, and ‘Save it For Later’. The aim of the task was to find four shots from each song’s video to aid our own ideas for filming. This formed what is known as a reverse shot list. Research from this task concluded that some conventional shots include close ups (in order to portray the skill and emotion of the performers, with love of music being key to ska), and wide shots that allowed the whole band to fit in shot, and work with one another in view of the audience; one element of ska is the love for others, and relationships with all people regardless of who they are, and wide shots clearly visualise all the feelings of the members for one another, and the mutuality of these feelings. From this, I can summarise that we will be using two shots, wide shots, close ups and extreme close ups to provide flavour and a mix of shots to create intrigue and to keep the video interesting and engrossing.
