Camera Angles & other

I am going to look at the camera angles and how the camera is used to gain a clearly idea of how to make the artist to look like a real r'n'b/hip hop artist. So I am looking at Eminem and Rihanna.





Eminem - The Way I Am



We see a lot of close up's to Eminem and medium shots to him. But we get the high angle were we look weaker then Eminem for a bit. The fact we get a close up of him in different places we can see he is the important one and we should listen to what he says. We get the camera shot of the building passing as it appears he is falling out of the window. At the start the Camera appears to flicker through his life though a cut transition to them. We get the pan shot of him sitting down with the dust flying which shows that he is wanting to be on his own and left, which is the theme of the song.






Rihanna - Russian Roulette


With the camera, we see the medium shot of Rihanna, from being in a room with police to her being on the floor. We get an over the shoulder look of her sat in the chair, she has the most lighting on her which shows she is the artist in the video. With the video we see the jagged effect of her hiding in the corner showing the disturbing sight she had seen which is the fact she saw someone shoot themselves in head. We get a fading effect of her holding his hand to her being on her own in a room.

Brief
As it is expected we see the typical close ups and medium shots, and hardly any of the long shots, so we are definitely getting a closeness with the artists and are aware of the artists emotions and who they are. We are definitely using this method in our video, as the brief effects used to match the artists feelings this could be used on the music video.
