Significant Shots

Pan Shot
The opening shot of our video is one of the most significant shots within our piece. The shot lasts for 47 seconds and is shot in a single long take. The shot pans from the television around the room and up to the character immediately establishing through the mise-en-scene everything about the protagonist and his way of life as well as the entire mood and feel of the video.

Extreme-Close-Up on Eye
This shot was very technical to create as we had to use artificial lighting to make the pupil go from large to small, we then had to use final cut pro to reverse this shot so that the pupil dilated. This was key to our video as it showed that the character was abnormal or affected by a substance


Green Screen Rise
Taking influence from a shot in Breaking Bad our green-screen shot shows our main characters "spirit" or "soul" rising out of his body up towards the ceiling to initiate his out of body experience.

Opening of Eyes
This close-up of the younger characters eyes show the matching eye colour of the original protagonist, establishing to any audience members who may not have already worked it out that he is a younger version of himself present within the out of body experience


Clock Scream
Although all shot changes in our video have been cut to beats, due to the slower tempo of our song we were unable to demonstrate any obvious beat editing. However we took advantage of this upbeat section to beat edit between shots of a clock and the girlfriend. This section is the one that most clearly shows the trauma of our protagonist due to the dark, abnormal feel that it creates


Into Eye/Kaleidoscope/Out of Eye
These three shots are key to our video as they are the last transition from the characters younger self back to his present day self. The shot goes into the characters eye, we then see a psychedelic sequence followed by the camera once again coming out of the older characters eye. We put this at the most dramatic point in the music as we felt it would had the best effect at this time


Epilogue Scene
This scene concludes the video well as it shows the return to reality and fills in any blanks for the audience as to who the characters within the piece were. For example it is now clear that the girl we see within the clock is the girlfriend of the protagonist of the video and this is why we repeatedly see her earlier in the video
