1. Charli XCX– Yo u (HaHaHa)
Shot Types
In the chorus of this video the majority of the shots used are close ups,
mediumclose ups and mid shots. These are used to make the video
seemmore interesting and to emphasise the performance base of the
video.
3. The close ups in this video are
mainly focused on the artist. Close
ups are often used for the audience
understanding, they can sense her
emotion through a close up and
could maybe relate to the video, it
also gives it a full understanding.
For example the artist could be
singing a really upbeat song but
could be heart broken and close
ups help identify what she is
feeling. Close ups also emphasise
the artists beauty and help them
become an idol to viewers.
4. These are mid-close ups, they’re very similar to close ups but not
so they’re uncomfortably close. They are shot from the artist
shoulders and shows the whole of their head to shoulders. It still
shows the importance of the artist but it makes the shot more
‘chilled out’ rather than it being up in your face.
5. These shots are mid shots, they show the character from
the waist up. It shows the subject in detail but also showing
its surroundings. It helps set the narrative within the video
because you can see clearly what’s in shot and what’s
around them. They are also used to develop
information/shows a story.
6. This shot is called a long shot, they show
the whole picture clearly of where abouts
the artist is and what she is wearing. It also
gives the audience and understanding of
what is going on in the shot and how the
artist is portraying it.
