7. Screen shots

I chose nine key shots from the music video M83 “We own the sky” as include the natural lighting of the sun as a tool to make their video more interesting. That technique is going to be used by us as well.

The first key shot is the close up of the feet. I thought that this is very important, as it first of all gives the audience a different view of seeing a story and therefore makes the video more interesting to watch.

The shot were the camera is directly pointed at the sun is one of the most important one for me and we are definitely going to include one of those in our video. I believe that it creates a very “arty” feeling, which would appeal perfectly to our audience.

The close up of the guy shows very clearly that he is thinking about something, which could make the audience curious and they can image what this character is like. Therefore it is important that we take close ups of our characters as well as it also gives much more character to our video because the audience does not only observe the character of the actor but also the whole music video.

Furthermore we are going to include a shot from the back, as the audience is obviously not able to see the face of the actor. That makes the them curious of what the actor is going to do and at that the moment they are only following them, without knowing what the character is up to.

Only showing the legs of the actors gives the viewer a different angle of seeing things, which makes the video interesting. However, it is different than showing only the feet because they can actually see the surrounding of where the video is been shot and is therefore not as much of a secret.

In the next shot the light is very important again and I just personally think that this shot creates a different but interesting view of seeing things, as it is not possible to see the full body of the actors. Therefore it is again a shot, which makes the music video interesting.

The next two shots I chose because the expression of love is very important in most of the music video as the storyline is mostly very simple but love makes it more interesting to watch. Therefore it is important that we include love in our music video as well and show it clearly to the audience.

The last shot is to do with light again. I thought it created a great effect when they first filmed the sun and straight afterwards they put an object in front of it, which kind of took the “magic” away and brought me back to reality.
