This document summarizes and analyzes three shots from a music video. The first shot is a medium shot that tracks left to right, showing the whole band playing in a dull, abandoned building to set the mood. The second shot is from the actor's point of view, panning to show the surroundings and contrasting with the first indoor location. The third shot again shows the band from different angles, circulating the vocalist to make the audience feel like they are there.

1. Shot
Shot type and camera movement: MS and tracking left to right, so
the audience gets a view of the whole room and the band.
Analysis
This music video is a typical
rock genre; we know this
because the camera is
focusing on the vocalist with
the band in the background.
Also the vocalist uses his
hands to show emotional
connection towards the lyrics.
The location they are in a dull,
abandoned building, and the
lights are low to give it the
effect of people mucky and
old. This also has a connection
towards the lyrics.
Music / Lyrics:
“Can you see the dark?”
Shot
Shot type and camera movement: POV of the actor in the video,
panning anticlockwise to show you what the actor sees.
Edit / Transitions:
Cuts to next quickly then back
to the vocalist as he sings
again.
Analysis
This shot is showing the point
of view from the actor in the
video, getting the audience
more involved with song /
video. It’s quite different from
the last shot being in an old,
dull building to being outside
in the light looking up at the
sky. This makes you wonder
what’s going to happen next
throughout the rest of the
video.
Music / Lyrics:
The band is still playing at this point.
Edit / Transitions:
Cuts from the actors face to
the shot of the trees then back
to the actor’s face, to help you
understand the shot was from
the actors point of view.

2. Shot
Shot type and camera movement: MS and tracking left to right, but
from the front of the vocalist around towards the back of him. Again
so the audience gets to see what’s happening from different angles.
Analyse
This shot is very similar to the
first one, in a musky, dull
building. In this shot the
camera goes around the band,
so the audience feels as if they
were there at the time.
Showing different angles of
the band.
Music / Lyrics:
“Can you hear the silence?”
Edit / Transitions:
Just like the first shot, cuts to
another sot quickly then back
onto the vocalist to watch him
sing.
