Music promo preliminary research

 

I have chosen the music video Frank Hamilton - “summer” for my preliminary video.

Amplification song:

 

 

 

This is a long shot of an Over the shoulder point of view shot where the audience can see what Frank Hamilton is looking at as he walks through the town and the camera is handheld as it shakes slightly as if the audience are looking as another person following behind Frank.

This is an establishing shot and is the second during the music promo. This shot is also a handheld as the camera shakes a lot as it follows the young boy. It also is a long shot of the back of the boy and the audience can’t see his face but know he links to Frank as it is a repeat of the first shot but with new scenery.

This shot is a mid-shot of the young boy’s face as he is revealed from the shot of his back. This shot enables the audience to see his facial expressions as he walks alone along a path.  

This shot reveals the face of the singer from the song and appears to match the young boy with a similar face but older looking. This is a mid-shot which is similar to the previous of the young boy resembling similar features towards the audience. He is standing behind a screen and is reflecting images of trees and fields playing linking to the narrative of a ‘summer theme.’

This shot is a medium shot of Frank sitting down and he is not looking directly at the camera as he does in the previous shots adding a sense of mystery as is seems to be from the past. This scene uses a lot of small cuts resembling time passing as he sits down multiple times wearing different clothing per time.  This could represent summer travelling fast over the short period of time.

This is a high angle shot of the café Frank is sitting in. The shot is sped up so the audience can see that time is passing really quickly in the short clip and what the characters in the café are doing with their lives such as reading a newspaper or eating food.
