Representations and Camera Movements and Angles in Music Videos

The images below highlight some of my research into the music video 'Otis' by Kanye West and Jay Z ft Otis Redding; my given tasks in class was to produce a power-point highlighting and showing the different types of camera movements and camera angles in professional music videos. The use of this research helps me visualise and understand how I can implement these different shots in my own music video.

    you have clearly understood this task there is an issue with the screen shots, you have made good solid links between the images and the connotations, there are strong stereotypes in this video mainly around ethnicity and gangs/ violence and attitude towards women ( especially white women) and the young females that are ' easy' and are after powerful men at the sacrifice of their own empowerment.

The purpose of this post is to highlight the history and events of America in the 1970's; the implementation in the creation of this mind map help our group visualise the struggle and events that impacted peoples lives and how it altered the politics and society of the time period. As a result of this creation, the mind map helps my group to easily understand more about this time period which may also offer us more inspiration due to the time period from this information.

Reflection of second shoot

Image
By far, this shooting day was the most productive and well-planned session that we have conducted after school and in lesson time. Due to the past events, we decided to introduce more green screen skills and techniques in our final product, thus impacting the overall professionalism and creative intentions that we aimed for previously.

Our main ideas and opinions, and the overall atmosphere needed to be highlighted whilst encourag...
