DP- The 23 Flavorful Shots by M.

This blog will contain a little taste of my proverbial 201 vocabulary.

Lies.

Without getting into too much detail about our music video idea, the mise en scene is going to be fairly static. This means I WANT CAMERA MOVEMENT, DAMMIT.

Alas, I am going to mix it up a bit, I want wide coverage with static shots, close ups, extreme close ups (yes, I checked out the Bauer), long shots, all different angles, high and low, and eye level, I WANT IT ALL.

On to the movement bits: there's this cool little stream where we're going to film. I'm going to use it's curves, that stream will be crying by the end of the shoot, it will feel so used. 360 shots. And shots that ignore and rediscover our musician in the trees.

As far as compositionally speaking, I will destroy the rule of thirds and mold it into the rule of obliques.

I'm getting a little carried away. If you can't tell, I'm pretty excited about being the DP for our music video assignment.
