Tinchy Stryder – Never Leave You Camera Work

• This is an example of the different types of camera shots; this is a close up shot. The close up shot allows us to see the artist in detail and also allows the audience to connect to the artist.

• This shot on the right is a extreme long shot. This shot also highlights the use of special effects and allows us to see the whole set.

Never Leave you.. Special Effects•There are many special effects used in this video, for example: the fading effect used on the artist so she fades into the picture.

• This shot uses a negative special effect and also breaks the principal of thirds.

Kanye West – Through The Wire•This video moves the narrative along by the use of moving polaroidsThis use of editing makes the video more personal and may allow the viewers to relate to the artist

Editing is used to highlight the key polaroids by panning across and zooming in. This Polaroid is unique to others as the sound present in the scene can be heard, however in the background the song still continues.

•This Polaroid is unique to others as the sound present in the scene can be heard.
