Storyboard Summer work

In this scene the artist is shot using a close-up we can see her serious expression through this shot this tells the viewers that she maybe having deep thoughts about something. The scene has dark lighting however it is lit up by using small amount lights from but still luminescent feel to it through the small light sources used in the scene.

This extreme close up of her face with the contrast of the shadow across her face gives the artist a sultry and mysterious sexiness to the scene. It also extenuates the artists face making her look more appealing to the audience’s eyes.

The scene has slow pace singing so as this happens the camera’s movement is quite slow and flows with beat of the song in this section of the music video. This has been cleverly input into the scene as it also blends in with head movement of the artist. The close-up allows the audience to see the artist expression and what she’s trying to pull of in the video.

Long shot establishes the setting of where the artist is but it also shows the artist in full head to toe so from this we can see the costume and the body language. From the body language we can tell she is trying to pull off seductive image by her hands positioning as well as the crossed legs. The costume enhances this effect by showing some flesh and skin.

In this scene it clearly shows her in a car with all females however the artist is wearing very provocative clothing. The girl behind her is hugging in a personal area, which is the breast region from this we can infer as audience as bi-curious or even lesbian sexuality.

This is just a simple establishing shot this just tells the viewers where artist is located and when the scene is shot this set the urban city atmosphere to the whole music video.

The mid-shot of the artist shows the positioning of her hands and lets see her expression as well this give us the idea that she’s frustrated or confused about something. We can also see the scenery that tells us it's based in alleyway with graffiti giving it a overall street feel.

As you can see the same effect is being repeated from scene number 2. However it has used a visual blur effect to keep the face and neck region less noticeable but have advanced focus on the hand positioning on her lips to give appearance of seduction.

Cinematography within this scene is a long shot is displays the female actors inside of the car. All with their hands up high in the air to show that they’re having fun and are exhilarated. The shot tells us the scene is now night life from the background showing us a city landscape at night.

Conclusion

In conclusion the music video and cinematography are dependent on each other because throughout the video I saw a trend in the pattern, which was that, the movement of the camera and the transitions would be based upon the beat/pace of the music at certain time intervals. At each section of the video and song it the beats pace increased tremendously and in contrast so did the transitions to each next scene. On top of this lighting plays a big part as it could change the overall atmosphere and give different affects to the audience by making it seem fun and crazy to seductive/sultry mostly done with lights.
