This is another good shot used within this video, which we will use in the making of ours. This shot is located in a car park, where you have slight daylight in the background, with the main character standing. It is a medium close up which is an effective shot to use with a few quick cuts.

There are many good shots used within this video. Such as this one, here we have a close up on the cage with the main character in the background. The camera focuses on the cage with the background smudged. Then straight after, the camera focusses on the main character from the same position, however the cage gets smudged. This is a very good technique which helps create meaning on the character, and gives the audience a little change in between the video. We will use this technique in our video, with our main artist behind the cage. 

This is a good shot, where we have a black and white background with the main character the only subject in the frame; he’s colour clothes look more appealing due to the dull background. This is a good technique as the character gains more of an impact, and looks more dominant in the shot.

To finish off the video, we have a medium long shot of the main artist walking on the road. This is a good method to end the video, as it suggests the importance and shows the main character throughout the video. This shot shows him altogether walking in towards the camera. 

Here we have an opening shot for the music video called ‘Slang Like This’. I chose this shot as an example, because it is a good technique to begin the song. This shot is located in a dark underground subway, with background light (daylight) and the main character walking in towards the camera with a black hoody. The style of walking in to the camera suggests he is the main character in this video, furthermore the hoody helps emphasise it is a grime/hip-hop generic song. This is because stereotypically we would expect these techniques to be used in these genre videos.

Here, we have an example of a good technique to switch to a different shot. The main character slaps the camera away, and then automatically the shot changes. This is a very good professional technique which we will use in our video. Furthermore in the background here we can see graffiti, which shows the vandalised walls in the underground subway. This helps follow the generic conventions we would expect. 

A good camera movement technique has been used here with the camera going back as the main character walks in towards the camera. This helps keep pace in the video and keeps the interest of the audience, instead of having the camera fixed in one place all the time. 

I chose this shot, not for the camera techniques but for the style of acting by the artist. Here we have the artist miming to the song with ignorance, and a level of attitude, which we can see through his facial expressions and hand movements. He is walking up with a level of attitude, and visibly we can see that arrogance which we would expect in a grime or hip-hop music video. 

This is a good camera shot, where we have another hand-held camera shot but this time following the artist from behind. The artist can look back into the camera and mime to the song. We will also use this technique in our video. 

In this video, we have many constant cuts from one shot to another; this is a good technique as it keeps the audience’s interest. This is an example of a close-up which is used on the artist’s face as he is miming the song. This is a good shot as it makes sure we have a variety of different shots, and the background is smudged. This helps create much meaning on the lyrics and shows the facial expressions of the artist as he is singing the song.
