1. Twenty One Pilots – Can’t Help Falling In Love With You –
Music Video Shot Count
I decided to pick this video for oneof my shot counts because I really
like the cover of the song, and the video is quite simplistic, but suited
to the message the song tries to get across.
First of all, the video starts off as an all
Black screen, and then Tyler Joseph
appears sat in the front of a vehicle.The
shot used to show Tyler is a Medium Close
Up, as the top half of this body can be seen
(as well as the Ukulele that the song is
being played on). Youcan also see in this
shot some of the interior of the vehiclein
whichthe shot takes place, whichmeans
the shot could also be seen as a Medium
Long Shot. Throughout this specific scene
also, the camera isn’t very steady or
stationary, this makes sense as the video
was created whilst the band were on tour,
and it was probably a very last minute
decision, the shaking demonstrates that the
shot is a Hand Held Shot.
The next scene demonstrates a Medium
Long Shot of Tyler walking along whilst
singing and playing the Ukulele. We can
also see that a Tracking Shot is used at the
same time in order forus to see that Tyler
is moving whilst performing. There are no
zoom in’s or out’s, the camera just moves
back as he walks forward.Also, throughout
the entire shot, Tylerstays to the right of
the screen. This shot could also be
considered as a Pan Shot, as the camera is
followingTyler in order forthe viewerto
see what is going on.
The next scene involves a simple Long Shot
to show Tylerand the male who is sat next
to him. The camera is stationary at this
point, and you can see the differences
between the twofigures, the man on the
left appears to be quite masculine with
many tattoos and a baldhead, whereas
Tyler looksquite quirky in comparison.

Music Video Shot Count
In the next scene, a Medium Long Shot
shows Tyler stood performing alongside
some fans of the band. The camera is
stationary during most of this scene, and
the camera only moves when Tylerturns
round, queuing forthe fans to join in with
the song.
Whilst the camera is on the fans, a Pan Shot
enables us to see more of the group, and
the focus is taken off Tylerfor a second,
then another Pan Shot results in the
camera being on Tyleragain. Then, a
Smash Zoom then results in Tyler being the
main point of focusof the shot, ending in a
Medium Close Up.
The camera then zooms back out when
Tyler turns around to talk to the group of
fans, turning the Medium Close Up shot
into a Medium Long Shot.
In the next scene, we see Tyler in the
centre of the frame; the pictured shot is a
Shallow Focus Shot (as the background is
slightly blurred, to enhance Tyler) as well
as a Medium Long Shot/Medium Close Up;
Tyler’s upper body can be seen, as well as
some surroundings. During this section,
the movement of Hand Held Camera Work
is present.
The next scene is of the band on stage, a
Close Up/bordering Extreme Close Up shot
shows Tyler singing to the crowdthrough
the microphone.

The next shot of Tyleris another Shallow
Focus, and as you can see, Josh (Drummer)
is less in focuscompared to Tyler,as he is
the one whois currently singing. This shot
has altered fromthe first one as the camera
has zoomed out slightly, showing a little bit
of the surroundings more so.
The next shot is also a Shallow Focusshot,
and a Pan Shot was responsible formoving
the focus away completely fromTyler, to
showing the crowdas wellas him. Another
Medium Long Shot is used to enable the
viewercan see the audience as well as
Tyler.
The camera then alters its position slightly
in order to show more of Tyler’s body (Pan
Shot), rather than just his chest and above.
The camera keeps slightly moving forthe
duration of the shot, but Tyler stays as the
main focus,and to the right of the frame.
After this, the camera zooms into the
crowdover Tyler’s shoulder, and he is
completely out of the frame as a result. The
shot then consists of the crowd,singing
along to the song and swaying fromside to
side.
A Pan Shot then takes the screen to the left
of the crowdmore so, and then the camera
goes to the right, and eventually zooms out
to end up back as the Medium Long Shot of
Tyler and the crowd.
The camera then blurs out from the
current scene, resulting in the screen being
Black withnothing.

The final scene takes place in the vehicle
where Tyler was at the start of the video,
except this time, Tyleris more to the right
of the frame, and other band member, Josh,
is to the left behind Tyler.The Medium
Long Shot enables Josh to be seen in the
shot, and the Medium Close Up shows the
viewerTyler’s upper body; along with the
Ukulele. The camera stays stationary for
the remainder of the video, and the film
cuts out to all Blackat the ending.
