Evaluation 1


Frame 1
This is a medium establishing shot at the beginning of the music video showing the main artist just standing with a discreet smile on his face. You can see the location in the back, clearly being London. This shot appears quiet suddenly and stays up for no longer than 2 seconds just to state that this is the artist and this is what he looks like.

Frame 2
This is a shot of an old bus passing in London and it shows how i manipulated the colour on it and corrected it to just add some creativeness. The shot is a mid establishing shot, showing the bus fully and how it is a large piece of our culture here in London and how the artist being a foreigner has recognised that.

Frame 3
This shot shows the artist from a side angle, playing his bongo on a train showing he isn't ashamed of who he is and his culture. The colour corrector was again used to manipulate the shot in relation to the mood of it, which is funny and quick joyful. We make sure it was brighter and more colourful for this reason.

Frame 4
This shot is of Sophia Romina who featured on the video. It shows a close up establishing shot of her shoulders and above, clearly presenting her face so we can establish what she looks like. The shot focuses mainly on her as she sings the chorus. The colour corrector was again used to brighten her up abit and make her look almost spotless.

Frame 5
This shot shots OiOi Malloy, another member of the band who was not able to make the shoot, so we included shots from the previous video which did not go ahead and was incomplete, 'In The Air Tonight'.
This is a medium establishing shot showing his face and his upper body so we can clearly see who he is and his character. The lady in the frame is his lover, with a green sheet behind them. The shot is taken at a lower angle aswell and is not at eye level.

Frame 6
This shot is a long shot of the artist infront of a colourful wall. The colour corrector was used to brighten the wall as it was originally quite dark. The artist is on the right as we felt the centre is very generic. Being on the right of the frame draws more attention. The artist then disappears and moves to the left of the frame, then to the centre and so on.

Frame 7
This is an extreme close up of the artists eyes. This shot was heavily manipulated with the colour corrector again, to make it brighter and more fiery. A tool was used at this point called 'Earthquake' which makes the shot rumble and move. This added to the funniness and comedic values of the music video.

Frame 8
This shot shows another member of the group, Soury Nasri, who was the main camera man. This shot shows him walking next to a Gorilla statue, and then frozen so the audience can establish who he is and what he looks like. This is a medium establishing shot and the colour corrector was used again to make it even brighter.

Frame 9
This is the last shot of the video, which is of the main motif in the video, the bongo. It is decorated with bananas and other tropical fruit to illustrate the tropical nature and culture of the artists in the video. This shows the audience the artists personality aswell, as it represents what the artists represent, their country and their culture. The shot was not manipulated in any way, as we wanted it to have that original look to it as if it has not been altered.
