Planning Cinematography

There are many different camera shots I will use within my music video.

High angled shot-
This is an effective shot of the antagonist towering over the protagonist. This shows to the audience her vulnerable position in comparison to the man and extracts the audiences sympathy for the protagonist.
This shot is also used in showing a busy public place. This portrays notmal routine to the audience, suggesting that 'life goes on' for the protagonist.

Over the shoulder-
This shot is used when the antagonist has the neck of a bottle to the protagonists throat, and she holds a knife to his stomach in defense. The over the shoulder shot shows the viewer how she nudges the knife to warn him to 'back off'. This is the first form of defense she has used against the antagonist and therefore opens herself to the opportunity of changing her past.

Close ups-
This is used on several occasions to show the antagonist and the protagonists eyes. The antagonist's pupils are shown dilating and shrinking when exposed to harsh light. The protagonist has close ups of herself crying, and later putting on eye make up to 're-create' herself. This is significant within the video for the artist as she is creating a new person out of herself that is confident and happy.

Mid Shots-
This shot is seen regularly within the music video. This enables the viewer to see and empathise for the protagonists emotions. This is used to idenify key moments in the video also, for instance when she first starts reversing through time whilst sitting on the train after her colourful, confident self appears.

Long shot and Tracking shot-
Within the long shot we have also used a tracking shot. This is when the protagonist walks towards the eerie forest- suggesting that her life is headed towards this direction. The tracking is used to follow her as she walks towards the forest- therefore the audience becomes witness to this event and feel helpless when they are not able to help.
