Research & Planning 8- 9 Key Shots

I chose to annotate I will Be Blessed By Ben Howard. This video includes many elements that i would like mine to have. 9 Key Shots

This shot is actually the first shown in the video. It establishes where it is set ( the countryside) Its a slightly low angled shot of the hill.

This is a high angled shot. We see the trainers and socks, telling us someone has taken them off to play around on the beach. I really like the shadowing of the legs in this shot. It also establishes another location in the video.

This is a shot of a young boy surfing with his back to the camera. Natural lighting is used. Important part to the story line of the song.

This shot is out of focus- i chose it as a key shot as this video uses alot of focus pull. It enhances the shot and makes the bodies into a silhouette form. Again using a slightly low angle, making it look like the people are on a higher level than they actually are.

This shows a long shot of the beach and shows that this is a seaside town, reitterating where this is set. The colours are slightly muted throughout the whole video through the use of a colour filter, however in this shot i think it really stands out.

This is a really beautiful shot of a path through the trees. The sunlight beaming through is why i chose this as a key shot, again establishing the country side setting and vibe.

I chose this shot due to the sunlight gleeming through the trees through either natural light or perhaps adding a lens flare effect when editing. Its a staple in this video, as it will be in mine.

This shot of the dog being blown in the wind, is important, as it shows that this is a friendly place, let alone windy. Also, i chose it because it isnt the only shot of an animal in the video, which is not very common in alot of modern music videos, which makes it a little wierd and wonderful, yet almost a convention of this videos particular theme and genre.

This shot of the footsteps in the sand is most likely filmed by the person walking. I like this technique of filming, it gives off a home video effect , which fits into the vibe of the entire video, which also has that feel to it.
