We are currently roughly half way through our storyboard and we already have a lot of performance shots included so I thought it would be a good idea to research some performance shots so we could stay as conventional to our genre as possible. A video I am familiar with, suitable for my research and in fact what I believe to be a cracking video is the Arctic Monkeys- A View From The Afternoon. Even though the only instrument that is played during the performance, I think we could use the ideas for other instruments and even the lead singer with his microphone. The video is simple about a male playing drums throughout the day and into the night. He comes across distractions and people trying to stop him playing but he never gives up. The majority of the shots are of him playing and they use many different angles which makes the video so brilliant.
The first shot I have chosen focus' more on the person playing the instrument than the actual instrument. It starts off as a long shot and then the camera zooms to a mid shot and carries on zooming in until it's a close up. The close up shows the pain and energy he has to put in to playing the drums but also the dedication. I like how it starts off as a long shot and then zooms in because it introduces the viewer to him starting to play.
This clip shows different angles used, such as from the side, behind and high angles. It could be quite a boring video because it's just the same thing going on throughout, but by using different angles it makes it more interesting and shows different aspects of the performance.
I like this clip I have chosen because it used various different angles and shots but the majority of them are of the instrument being played. I think we could use shots like these because it could really help to emphasise that they are an instrument playing band. Shots from this clip I think we could use for the drums in the performance are:
