Media Homework



This video demonstrates the use of Fish Eye in the beginning of the video, and mostly throughout. This can be seen by the singer's head bulging and the stage seeming tiny, which symbolises a small world, and being trapped. This video also uses Wide Angle, by quickly zooming from far to close on the characters in the video. This is done to show them as singled out, and then put them back in the crowd. The video also uses a shallow depth of field, again, showing the world to be small, and making effective backgrounds that are uninteresting. (e.g, posters on the walls)



This video uses over cranking, to show a dreamy, drugged effect of the reality of the police breaking in, and also fit in with the feel and tempo of the music.
The video also uses low angle on a shot of the band playing at a gig, possibly to show the expression on Axel Rose's face.


Both videos use close up shots, in the Papa Roach video it is mainly the singer, and there are a lot of close ups in the Guns N Roses video.



The Tilt Shot
This is the camera being at a weird angle, and in the video for Guns N Roses, tries to simulate a disorientated feel. This seems to be backed up by one of the characters smoking.


Ariel Shot
This is when the shot is filmed from a high equipment, for example, planes, hot air balloons, helicopters... In this video, this is used to create a more gig feel, and show the massive stage.


The "Zoom and Pan" Shot
This is the shot when a camera is panning, while zooming in to the subject. This has been used again in the Guns N Roses video, to pan across from the audience's point of view, zooming in to Slash, to emphasise him, and shoot from the audience's perspective.
