Extreme Close Up:Will magnify beyond what the human eye would imagine in reality.
It gives a bit of a dramatic and tense effect.
Establishing Shot:This allows the viewer to get a feel for the surroundings and be able to
understand the situation the characters are in.
Eye Level Shot:This shot levels with the character’s face as if the audience is watching in level
with the focus.
High Angle Shot:This angle makes the person or object small or insignificant.
Long Shot:This shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually
intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.
Lightening, Costume and Make-up
• Through out the whole video the lightening is kept
natural. Sunlight is used as a main source of lightening.
But in one scene where the character is in the trees, lights
go very dark otherwise it was normal.
• Costume is pretty casual with a jean and a shirt as the
video shows a flashback of a couples accident as they
were spending their daily routine life.
• There may have been a little make-up but otherwise it
was simple and normal looking.
Here with me - The Killers
Establishing Shot
Over the shoulder shot:This shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. This
shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at
one person from the other's point of view.

Lightening, Costume and Make-up
Lightening is kept rather dark but lights where applied are of flood lights type. In some
scenes lightening is natural where only sun is the main source. Costumes are typically of
bands worn type like jackets, jeans etc. Make-up is used normally on the band members but
is applied heavily on the boy and the girl where it is used to make her white. Some other
little makeup touches were also used such as lipstick.
