Camera angle positions for performance video

    This is a birdseye view plan for my room, the location for the start of the video and the performance intersectons.
    This plan shows the placements of the performer, props and initial camera position.

    Actor 2 at the top of the plan is holding a acustic guitar and Actor 1 is infront of a microphone.

    The Camera position is an indication of where I am going to film from but the positioning is changing after each take of performance.












    Low Angles: Low angles are going to be used in the video as this gives the video have a dynamic edge and low angles give the performers dominance over the scene.

    High Angles: High angles are going to be used to used occasionally in the video this gives an effect to the audience to have alternate shots, this netralises the shots between low and high.

    Pan: Pans are not going to be used too much in this video as its not common in music videos but in indie video used a bit.

    Close-ups: Close-ups of the lead performer is going to be used as he is lip-sincing and moving his head.

    Long-shots: Used in indie videos but in the perforamnce scene of my video will not be used for too long in the video but changing with mid-shots and back would be a good effect seen in many music videos
