Shots for music video

As I chose to do a music video, I began to film some shots from different angles with the camera.  These brief clips were meant to be interjected into parts of the music video, with the main action taking place inside of a building.  However, as time went on, my focus was on other work, as well as finishing off my A/S coursework.  When I came onto this project, I focused first on the CD and the magazine advert.  Unfortunately, I did not have time to finish the rest of the video.  I had ideas, as detailed in the storyboard, but it became increasingly hard for me to film- especially seeing as I didn't have any group members apart from myself.  What I was left with were those few clips which would form a part of the video.  The original intention was for the action to temporarily cut away between the verses and the chorus, and to show some of the setting I had filmed.  The different camera angles and shot types (such as opening shots to set the scene, close ups to show detail, low angles to make the scenery seem more 'imposing' or majestic etc.) were also a sort of experiment with different shot types and camera angles.  If I was to do this coursework again, or if I had longer, I would have finished the video.

The song I intended to use was the song 'In the Night' by Bauhaus, found here:
