This is a table of a variety of shots that we used within our music video including the type of shot, a picture from our music video showing the shot, a description of what the shot includes, and reason for why we used the shots, and what it achieves.

Type of shot used	Description	What the shot achieves and Reason for shot choice.
Close-Up –	A close up of the frog spinning its head, with frog sound to introduce the video.	The camera focuses only on the green frog and not much else is seen shown in the background. We chose this shot as a random opening shot to already establish the humour side our video has out throughout the sequence. Other Close up shots we used throughout the video on one specific scene were our character wakes up to the doorbell we used this shot to show emotion and expression on the characters face, and this also tells the audience the characters thoughts.
Mid Shot -	A mid shot of the main character ‘Alice’ in the play zone.	The shot focuses on Alice in detail, whilst still introducing the location. We chose this shot to introduce the main character and it also straight away gives the audience a first impression of the character showing what she’s wearing and what she is doing.
Quick Cuts -	Quick fast cuts of the party in between the play zone shots.	These fast cuts show another location of the sequence in quick cuts. We chose these fast cuts to very quickly introduce to the audience briefly another scene of location to get the video going.
Long Shot -	A long shot of Alice walking down the back alley of a house.	The long shot takes up the full frame and focuses on the character showing her from head to foot, it also introduces the location. We chose this shot to follow our series of quick shots, as it sets the scene and ties in with the song, and where the lip-sink comes in.
Two Shot -	A two shot of Alice and the geek character – Sophie.	This shot is a shot of two people, which is similar to a mid shot and focuses on Alice and the geek character together. We used this shot as it is a good way to introduce the geek, by having them in the same shot shows the connection between the two characters, and it also works well with that part of the lyrics to the song.
Extreme Close-Up -	An extreme close up of Alice’s eyes.	The extreme close up focuses right in on the eyes showing extreme detail. We chose this shot to fit with the lyrics and visuals, ‘I can see eyes in my window’, and this shot also shows the audience Alice’s expression and thoughts.
Mid shot -	A mid shot of Alice in the tunnels singing to the chorus.	The mid shot focuses on Alice from head to waist, and also shows another location in a tunnel with lights. We use a numerous of mid shots throughout the video, but chose this one for the chorus again to tie in with the lip-sink but also lyrics and visuals, Alice is using actions to fit the lyrics with her hands so a mid shot was appropriate.
Wide Shot and Tracking shot -	A wide shot of Alice walking away with the effect of the lighting from the next scene appearing.	The wide shot focuses on Alice walking away due to the chorus finishing, it shows Alice from head to foot and as she walks away the camera follows ;tracking is a common camera movement used to move closer to the action. We used this shot and tracking to allow the chorus to finish, and show Alice walking away using different techniques. The next scene also fades in before the end of the scene; this was creative and also kept this shot continuous. We used wide shots again more than once throughout the video.
Medium Close-Up -	A medium close-up of Alice when she is in a trolley going down an isle in a shop.	The medium close up is a shot between a mid shot and a close-up. It focuses on the character from head to chest, and commonly used in moving shots. We clarified this as a shot that appears in the scene of Alice in a trolley moving towards the camera, before the next scene a medium close up is shown of Alice, and in this particular shot it shows emotion and movement.
A Cut Away -	A cut away of a close-up of a mini colourfull shoe.	The camera cuts to a random object that is something other than the subject. We used this shot a few times, especially with fast cuts, to add not only effect, but to add a variety of other things so that the video does not become boring to the audience. This shot of the shoe works well as a cut away as it is colourfull and completely contrasts with the other scenes of the video that contain lip-sinking.
Eye Level Shot -	An eye level shot showing Alice sitting on the bed.	The camera is at eye level, this is the most common view, being the real- world angle that we are used to. We used this shot as it shows the audience the subject how we would expect to see it in real life. It is a fairly natural shot, and works well with the lyrics of the song as lip-sinking is used here.
A Reverese Shot -	A shot of Alice jumping into the balls at the play zone and the same shot reversed.	The camera focuses on Alice jumping into the ball pool we used this shot twice and the reverse shot is mainly through editing. We used this shot as it is very creative in using a shot more than once but in a different way The reverse shot shows Alice jumping into the ball pool, and then reverses out of the ball pool. This is a good effective way to show the audience a movement in a interesting more creative way.
Birds eye view shot -	A bird’s eye view shot of Alice at the bottom of the slide in the play zone.	The camera is directly above the subject creating a different un natural point of view focusing on Alice at the bottom of the slide throwing the balls up. We used this shot as it creates a dramatic effect because of the angle the camera is at and it’s a good shot in showing the position and motion of the character, which allows the audience to see things the character can’t.
Dutch Angle -	A Dutch angle shot of Alice at the party.	The camera is purposely tilted to the side focusing on the subject from an angle. We used this shot as it creates an interesting effect, and ties in with the whole idea of her being drunk.
Over The Shoulder Shot -	An Over the shoulder shot of Alice Writing ‘N N N Neva BABY’	This over the shoulder shot focuses on Alice writing part of the lyrics on the mirror which is a good use of camera angles. This over the shoulder shot is also very effective as you can see the reflection of Alice in the mirror. We used this shot to show the good use of camera angles in making a shot seem more effective and more interesting to watch. It also gives the impression that someone else is looking from their point of view, which could imply the message is towards the geek. We used an over the shoulder shot more than once both focusing on Alice from the geek’s point of view.
Pick Up Shots -	A Pick up shot on the slippers showing her putting the slippers on then walking.	The pick up shots focus closely on only the prop being the slippers, and they are shots were no characters are present. We used these shots as they imply a certain action that follows the importance of the props.
High Angle Shot - Split screen -	A high angle shot showing Alice walking down the stairs.                              A split screen showing the same shot of alice 4 times.	This shot shows Alice walking down the stairs with the camera angled down towards her. We used this shot as it has the effect of making the character appear less powerful, were Alice is walking to the door not sure who it is this shot is effective in showing this uncertainty to the audience. This shot shows 1 shot of alice dancing 4 times each gradualy coming in in time with the music, and then each gradualy fading out. We used this shot as it was creative and also one of the main conventions of dance pop videos. We also enhanced the use of colour in this shot which is also a common convention of dance pop videos.
