Tim and Jean - I Can Show You

I have chosen this video as I like the effects used, the location and the lighting.

I like this split screen effect, having both the actors on screen, in slightly different locations and what appears to be different times of the day. I feel that this is effective, as it allows two medium shot to be on screen, when usually this would be difficult to achieve.

The location of this video appears to be in a deserted desert, I feel that is an interesting location as there is such a huge space to film in, allowing shots ranging from establishing shots, extreme long shots, and extreme close ups.

This medium shot, filmed half through the window of the car, creates an interesting composition. The out of focus car door and mirror contrasts with the clear singer, allowing the viewer to take in the surroundings as well as the words of the song.

The filler shots, such as this one, between the lip syncing, are filmed from interesting angles. This is a eye catching way to fill space between shots of the artist.

I like this close up of the artist, as the portrait only takes up half of the shot, highlighting the shallow depth of field used, allowing the viewer to focus solely on the artists expression. The mic prop is also clever as it highlights the contrast between the modern tech and the rural setting.

I like this long shot of the mountains; as it is filmed into the sun, the actors and mountains appear as silhouettes, creating a cool and calming section of the video.

Again, I like this split screen shot, in which the car drives closer to camera, whilst the artists play and sing either side. I feel that this is interesting idea, and could be re-created in my music video.
