I was going to begin with using close ups and mid shots to keep the tone more mysterious and intense. Close ups of: his face, beer bottles and shoes would be good in displaying his appearance. From researching other music videos in the genre, keeping the camera moving is crucial, I could do this by using more tracking shots around the central charater. Also, POV shots could be used if the character is looking at something important, linking to the song, or linking to the lyrics. This is another example of the Goodwin Theory.
When the middle section begins, I am thinking of using a whole range of shots around the central character and the band. Also, other characters and extras reaction would be included in the shots, meaning that I will have to consider my framing very strictly in order to gain the correct atmosphere and gerneral feeling throughout the video. Camerashots such as: close ups, mid shots, POV, pan, tracking, extreme close ups, will all be used in the main section. Some other shots maybe be also added. This wide range of shots will help flow with the upbeat section in the track. Keeping the camera moving in essential in this genre so every shot will have some (even if very little) movement in it.
When it comes to filming on the day, I was planning on taking plenty of shots, and use many takes in order to get the best clips from my range of clips.
This video portrays how a ska band's video uses camera movement. I think that the video works really well in portraying the genre.
