2) Mid shots and close ups should be 75% of the music video when we
filmed Pretty Woman we made sure we complied thoroughly with this
camerawork rule and we filmed many close ups and mid shots of both the boy
and girl during the narrative of our music video and also many during the
singer and bands performance of the song. We believe that close ups and midshots are very important in music videos to create a sense of involvement and
for the audience to feel a part of the action and make it a more personal
viewing for the audience. By filming close ups and extreme close ups, this
helped us convey the narrative and storyline of our music video. As the boy
and the girl are on their phones they are not looking at their surroundings so
therefore when they bump into each other they are very shocked. The use of
extreme close ups of both of the characters on their phones conveys this and
also the long/mid shot of the two bumping into each other shows the
surprisement.
This shot shows the girl on the
left on her phone and the boy on
the right on his phone. This
extreme close up brings
significant attention to the use of
the phone and shows it will have
great importance later on in the
music video.
This shot shows a mid shot of the
boy and girl walking again
emphasizing the use of their
phones. Also, the drummer in the
middle of the screen blends the
narrative and performance of the
music video.
This mid shot shows all the band
members the singer in the
middle, the drummer on the right
and the guitarist on the left. As
the camera is quite close to the
singers face, the audience feels
deeply involved within the music
video.

3) Focuses on the artist for 75% and other for 25% - Throughout our music
video to Pretty Woman we concentrated the music video on the artist for
slightly over the 75% as he was involved within the narrative and the
performance side. These shots consisted of close ups, mid shots and longshots of him walking at the beginning and performing during the chorus. The
other 25% of the music video consisted of shots such as the extreme close up
of the boy and girls hands with their phones.
Editing Rules we incorporated:
1) Editing must be to the beat At the beginning of Pretty Woman thereare several dynamic and prominent beats, we believed this would be
very effective if we changed the shot on each of these beats.
Throughout the course of the music video we tried to the best of our
ability to edit to the beat.
2) Match on action and match cuts We used match on action severaltimes throughout our music video, including, the mid shot to the close
up of the boy and girl using their phones at the beginning of the music
video. Also, when we showed the band members playing their
instruments and then the extreme close ups of their hands playing the
instruments conveying extreme detail and involvement.
Shots such as these were
shown numerous amount
of time throughout the
chorus of Pretty Woman
the performance aspect of
our music video.
The shot shows a mid
of the boy and girl
holding and looking at
their phones then the
following shot shows a
close up of them.
