Production Blog: Camera work

 

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is my camera work for my upcoming commercial.

Angle Admission

Because I'm working on this project solo for the most part, it takes a lot of work to get all the angles I want. Therefore most of my angels will be quite simple and stationary. So don't expect any dutch or canted angles, but you will see eye-level angles that may move in the video. Speaking of movement.

Movement Manipulation

There will be quite a lot of camera lens movement in this music video, which whilst doing this solo, sounds as difficult as it is. The camera itself starts moving from the very beginning of the video, and there are lots of zooms though there are few actual movements of the camera itself, as the scene will be stationary, with myself making most of the illusion of movement.

Shot Stlyes

Now there is a bit of an establishing thought in the beginning, but because it's a small area, I'm not sure if it would count. Contrary to that, I do know that I used some close-ups and extreme close-ups of my upper torso and some medium-long shots.

Editing Emissaries

I don't plan to be too flashy with the transitions besides the initial one after the terrain zoom-in. There isn't very much to say about the editing besides that, everything will mostly just be cuts.

That's All!

That's it for this Production Blog everyone! I skipped sound because it's quite obvious as this is a music video. I hope I made at least most of my descriptions and intentions clear. Thank you for reading! And until next time, stay cool and attractive.
