Test Shots for the 'Radar Love' video...

This is a shot of the drummer from above, Personally i would like to have this shot from above of the whole band after each member of the band has been introduced.


We obtained this idea from Alien Ant Farm's version of smooth Criminal.













This is a shot of the drummer pressing the bass pedal.


This is personally my favourite shot that we tested, I really like how close it is to the drum pedal so you can see the action. We will be incorporating this shot in time with the music so that it is matched visually to the audio, when the drums come in at the beginning of the video.


Also we have framed it so that the centre focus point is the part hitting the drum we will be carrying this out throughout for example with the microphone.





This is a shot of the drummer playing the symbol with the camera shot running along the horizontal positional of it.


 I would prefer the shot if the symbol was at the very bottom of the shot so that you can see more of the drummer, However i am not sure because i like how it is framed so that the middle part of the symbol and the drummers hand are the centre focal points.

The establishing shot is an extreme long shot which gives the audience at home an idea of how large the crowd and the festival as a whole, is. Other shots involve close ups of the crowd to show the experience from their point of view, also this may relate to the audience at home because they may have been to a festival and experienced it themselves. P.O.V shots are used to enhance this so that the energy from the crowd is influencing those at home.
Close ups of the band members are used to introduce them, also a specific order is used so that it makes sense, in this case as the instruments come in so do the band members.
The audience is positioned down low in relation to the stage so that the band performing look more important, almost like hero's.
The framing on the lead singer is also crucial for example the ball of the mic is right in the middle, with his head in  there aswell.
