F1 Group 3

Master Shot

Master Wide Shot:

Start with a wide shot of the whole stage/performance space. In terms of mise en scene, the band will be wearing the same coloured clothes e.g. black shirt and trousers and the lead singer wears something slightly different e.g. black trousers white shirt... The room/performers will be brightly lit with spotlights.

(***The lead singer will be in the final shot in the middle - it was hard to draw the drummer in the centre and the singer in the same place. The wide shot is to mainly show the band as a whole***)

Close Up

Close up:

Cut to a close up of the drummer playing. (Possible a Point Of View {P.O.V} shot looking onto the drum being played). The drummer will be playing to the song and the action will be ‘synced’ with the drums in the song (like lip-syncing a singer)

Mid-Shot

Mid-shot:

Cut to a close up of the singer holding a microphone when the vocals start Line: ‘Give me a second i, need to get my story straight…’ The first ‘mid-shot’ of a performers face will be of the singer. This is to show the audience that the singer is important and learn who they are (by sight)...

Mid Shot

In the second verse and chorus, the shots could be more ‘experimental’ and contain some more silhouette effects alike the piano ‘lens flare’ effects explained at the start. the silhouette effect could be achieved by standing the singer in front of a bright light and facing the camera into the light (with the singer blocking the lights centre) - casting a shadow...
