Before filming started, we discussed what kind of shots we will use that will be most beneifical to the success of our video. Firstly, we decided we will have a scene which has a low-angle shot. This gives the artist a position of power, stating his authority not only from his hometown, and also the music scene. We also wanted the video to consist of a lot of close ups of the artists face. This is a marketing ploy, allowing the artists face to be recognised by a wider audience. This familarises the public with the artist, and can lead to greater record sales.
Our favourite idea was that of including a tracking shot. This would mean that the artist is followed with the camera around the estate throughout parts of the video. We beleived that this fitted the idea of the song, the fact that there is a 'Transition' from one medium to another. This is the reason for the flowing movement of the tracking shot.
