The document analyzes the shots in a music video by the a cappella group Noteworthy. It discusses 9 shots that show the group performing outdoors in winter clothing. The first shot establishes their casual outfits but performance formation. Later shots feature close-ups of individual singers and faster camera movements to match the song's pace. The lead singer receives more focus as songs change. Mid-shots show the group working together equally. Establishing shots bookend the performance, showing the consistent positioning and use of natural scenery despite the low production value.

1. Noteworthy – A Capella Group

2. Shot 1
• The first shot shows the establishing shot of where
the nine girls are, their mise-en-scene which is
suggesting that they are casual by wear coats, hats
and scarfs. But the format that they are standing is
suggests that this is a performance based music
video.

3. Shot 2
• Then there are many close ups of all of the nine girls
individuality this is to show the audience what they
look like and what their roles are within the song, such
as this shot is a shot of the main singer, and she has the
most screen time throughout the video because her
role is much larger that the other girls.

4. Shot 3
• Then as the song begins to pick up the pace we
see the camera making faster cut shots and it has
a lot more movement such as in this shot the
camera is panning around the girls. This gives a
lot more effect to the audience because it fits in
well with the beat of the song.

5. Shot 4
• Then the song merges into another cover that all the
girls do, and then the main singer changes and the first
shot of the start of the new song is the main singer, so
the audience is clearly shown from the start of the
song who she is. Also with the girls behind her being
blurred out show’s that she’s more important.

6. Shot 5
• The mid-shot of the girls here suggest that they are working
together and that they are all as important as each other
within their roles in the song. Also by having different shots
in the video not just close up gives the audience a lot more
to look at and it makes the video become more interesting.

7. Shot 6
• Then the shot goes back into an establishing shot of all the nine
girls, this shows that they haven’t moved position and that they do
not need a high production in order to have their mash up seem
effective. They have chosen a place to stand with good scenery to
give the audience something to look at and to give the audience a
feel of the song and how they are feeling singing the song.

8. Shot 7
• For the last part of the song the lead singer again changes again and
the camera shots mainly focus on her face for close up to clearly
show the audience who the main singer is. Also the way that the
girls look beyond the camera suggests to the audience that they are
imagining being on stage performing this song to many people not
standing in snow, they do this to try and get the audience to
imagine this too.

9. Shot 8
• Towards the end of the video the camera angle begins to
pan around all of the girls so us as an audience can see
them all. Also it ends the narrative of the song by showing
the emotion of the song, and the narrative beforehand was
them picturing life without the person they love.

10. Shot 9
• The final shot of the whole video rounds off the
performance based idea it had to it and the narrative base
it had to it. This shows that all the girls were standing in the
same position all through the video, which suggests that
they are in their own worlds imaging something that they
want to happen whilst singing this song. You can tell as an
audience member that this is a low budget video as it does
not have high production no lights just natural scenery.
