Evaluation activity 1 - Camerawork by Matt Boulton


In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Camerawork

Camerawork is a very important part of music videos which is a common convention for all music videos. In this screen shot you can see camerawork is used as its an over the shoulder shot of Georgia holding me.
The camerawork was very important for many reasons, it links with setting, editing and the narrative. For example in this screen shot we had to make sure it was clear that this was happening in London, so therefore decided to film it next to a fairly main road.
Camerawork links with the editingbecause we had to make sure it was clear that viewers could see that I was lip synching, if I was too far away then viewers would not be able to make out if i was lip synching or not. Therefore had to think about how and where we filmed it. Therefore linking to the setting as we had to make sure that it was suitable if we had to change our idea.

The narrative links with camerawork as we had to make sure viewers could understand what was going on, for example in this screen shot below we had to make it clear that it was a point of view shot of me looking down at them whilst they were laughing at me, this link with the narrative as it shows how they are together.
