Videos that influenced my planning: Eminem- Not Afraid.


We've decided to start our music video with a long shot from the back of Marcus Green (our artist). The idea stemmed from watching my favourite artist's music video and seeing how effective it was at slowly revealing the artist at the beginning.
Our video consists of various camera shots (close ups, medium shots) and various locations also. Eminem's video 'Not Afraid' is the closest video I found that showed many similar shots we would like to replicate almost to work for our video. Here, he is walking down a busy street (we have planned to make our performer walk down a street also but less busy) whilst the camera follows him/ or he follows the camera. All the camera work is hand held or done by pulling a sort of trolley holding the camera to make it steady.
This low angle shot shows Eminem's superiority. This part of the video was done using a hand held camera I think- and if we used this type of shot in our video, it would be very appropriate and look good and flow in my opinion.
