In order to learn new skills for my music video I did some test shots that helped me practice as I was aiming to use them on my music video. They are all recorded in Sevilla because I went to visit the city and decided it was the perfect place to do test shots as it had many locations where I could film.
1) Medium Shot:
A medium shot is a camera shot that shows an actor from the top of their head to roughly their waist. I will use it in my music because it allows the audience to see the most important elements of body language, which are usually the arms and shoulders while remaining close enough to the face for the audience to see facial expressions. Also it will show the audience who my main character is during my music video.


2) Close-up Shot:

A close-up shot fills the majority of the frame with a subject, in my case it will be with an actor´s face and the frame will have a border just above the head and just below the chest. I will use it in my music video because it is a way of telling the audience that the character is important and it creates a sense of intimacy.
3) LONG Shot:


A long shot is where the camera shot shows the entire subject from head to toe and places that subject in relation to their surroundings. I will use it during my music video to show the relationship between the main character and their environment.
4) high angle shot:

A high angle shot is when the camera points down on the subject from above. It makes the subject seem vulnerable and inferior. I will adopt this technique in my music video in order to make the ex boyfriend look weak compared to her.
5) low angle shot:

A low angle shot is a shot in which the camera angle is positioned below the eye line of the subject, pointing upward. Low angle shots are usually used to convey power in a character, this is why I will use low angle shots throughout my music video in order to give the main character a sense of superiority.
