Screen Shots of the Chorus of The Impression That I Get

Screen Shots:

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get

From the shot types and distances in this music video is an example of how another artist in a similar genre has performed.

It uses fast paced editing to match the upbeat tempo and creates a lively tone. This is reinforced by the crash zooms, and many are applied throughout the video. They really help emphasise the movements on camera and by the performers.

Furthermore the chorus contains many close ups followed by a long shot/mid shot. Some close ups portray an aggressive tone, creating negative emotions. The ‘boozy’ tone in my track could maybe portray a slow but humorous character. Meaning that I could emphasise these emotions by using close shots of his face and actions.  This helps integrate the band into the video showing them dancing whilst playing their instruments. I was thinking of using this technique in my performance in taking many shots around my locations. To emphasise the ska beat, my chorus will consist of many shots, plus I was possibly thinking of making the band walk in just as the beat begins.

From looking at the video, it shows just how many short clips are in the chorus in a video. I would maybe use less due to it being it slightly slower, however from analysing this video and many others, the camera movement is crucial in encoding the lightheartedness and humour into the video. This combined with funny dancing and humorous characters.
