INDIVDUAL IDEAS/ EXAMPLES FOR MY ROLE (CINEMATOGRAPHER)







Throughout are pop promo I think we need a variety of different shots so that the audience will enjoy watching it and will find it interesting which makes them less likely to get bored. For the start I think that we should have a shot of the Ipswich train station sign and the n pan down to the characters, so this shot will set the scenery and is an interesting shot to see.

When the characters are walking through town we should do an over the shoulder shot this could be done handheld, and will show us what the character can see as he is walking. Also for the shot in town when the two characters walk past each other I think we should have a mid shot as they walk past but then cut to extreme close ups of their eyes to show the connection and once they have walked past do fast cuts of both of them looking back at each other more than once.


Having the final scene at are college has an advantage because the college has balconies therefore I think that we should put the camera on the balcony and have the shot of the two characters speaking from there, so that the camera will be looking down on them so it will be a point of view shot of someone standing on the balcony, I think this shot isn’t one you would expect to see used to show a conversation between two people which is why I want to use this shot.

For the band footage we should shoot from different angles from low to high and from left to right, also we should have the camera at different heights e.g. the same height as the guitar for a close up.


For some of the band footage we should do some handheld shots as you can experiment with different angles and perspectives of instruments such as a guitar u can hold the camera at the top of the guitar looking down towards the hands stroking the strings as shown in the image.
