Research music video 5: establishing shots of indie music videos



These are the first 10 shots of music videos that are similar in genre to what my group are going to create. It can be seen that a large amount of them are either closeups of the performer, or the performer so that he can be seen either in full body or from far apart. I believe that these are used for a reason, in order to create a relationship with the audience that are seeking out to their music. I believe since we are creating a brand new star, either a closeup would be suitable, or a long shot of the star so the audience will be able to see what the star looks like from afar. I believe this is also used for dramatic effect and to start off the narrative/performative part of the video.

How this post influenced my planning and creativity:

  • I am seriously considering using a closeup as our first shot in order to let the audience see the star right from the first moment the video starts
  • If we decide not to use a closeup, we will use a long shot in order to get the full body of the star and show the audience in fully who will be performing in the video.
