Extreme Close Up:Will magnify beyond what the human eye would imagine in reality.

It gives a bit of a dramatic and tense effect.

Establishing Shot:This allows the viewer to get a feel for the surroundings and be able to

understand the situation the characters are in.

Eye Level Shot:This shot levels with the character’s face as if the audience is watching in level

with the focus.

High Angle Shot:This angle makes the person or object small or insignificant.

Long Shot:This shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually

intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.

Lightening, Costume and Make-up

• Through out the whole video the lightening is kept

natural. Sunlight is used as a main source of lightening.

But in one scene where the character is in the trees, lights

go very dark otherwise it was normal.

• Costume is pretty casual with a jean and a shirt as the

video shows a flashback of a couples accident as they

were spending their daily routine life.

• There may have been a little make-up but otherwise it

was simple and normal looking.

Here with me - The Killers

Establishing Shot

Over the shoulder shot:This shot is framed from behind a person who is looking at the subject. This

shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at

one person from the other's point of view.

Lightening, Costume and Make-up

Lightening is kept rather dark but lights where applied are of flood lights type. In some

scenes lightening is natural where only sun is the main source. Costumes are typically of

bands worn type like jackets, jeans etc. Make-up is used normally on the band members but

is applied heavily on the boy and the girl where it is used to make her white. Some other

little makeup touches were also used such as lipstick.
