This is a low angle shot of our band during one of our many band shots. we used a low angle as the band is on seans side and also as they are a type of narrator (the narrative follows the lyrics and the band is singing them) they are meant to look important. it was also an interesting angle to use as it would add to our list of camera angles used. 
this is a shot of seans feet walking across the floor after he gets of the bed, creating an action match. originally it would just be sean getting up and walking out the room. but we decided to include a shot of his feet to add pace and portray seans anger and emotion. it also reflects the fast pace of the song. 
here is a shot i filmed of charlotte in which we have an eyeline match to add tension to our dark atmosphere at the beginning sequence of video. as we were filming in the dark i used a torch on her face so she could be seen, plus it also had the effect of looking like the light from the ipod on her face. 
this shot required some acting from charlotte as she had to look moody and instantly have an aura of doing something she may regret (dump sean). as the antagonist in our video she wasn't allowed to look happy or friendly so she had to keep a sombre face. the feeling of anger/regret are often portrayed in the videos we have looked at so we used this intertextuality in our own video. once again the torch light has been used so she can be seen and give the effect of the ipods light illuminating her in the dark street. 
this is a screen shot of the bands jump at the beginning of the song. timing was essential to this shot as the feet had to not only land together, but in time with the quickened pace. we took many shots and decided that this one was the best. then we closely edited it in time with the song to achieve the planned shot. Going straight from a mid shot to a close up of the feet also not only adds variety to our camera angles used but also creates an action match. 
once again this shot had to be perfectly in time with the song as i have to look like i am screaming the words 'your cries'. to achieve this we had the song playing in the background and i actually did it a number of times each from a different angle. we chose this as it shows the side of the face and both the mouth moving in time and the emotion.
