developed ideas/initial shot list

since getting a great idea for our performance shots, i have now developed these ideas for the more abstract cutaway shots throughout:


  1. close- closer- closerer shots of the actor/artist or an object of significance
  2. XCU of hand gripping a bat
  3. xcu of smashing a glass against the wall
  4. xcu of smashing a car window with a bat- 2shots- 1 big close up outside against the window pane, 1 close up from inside the car at a low angle of the window smashing
  5. xcu of a hand feeling the side of a males cheek
  6. in the dark (poss a club atmosphere) - close low level handheld track through lots of people/males. -camera winds through people.
  7. then close high level track HANDHELD through lots of males.- panning side to side (poss fades) of men all staring at the camera.
  8. XXcu of male body climbing out of pool. low angle- cant really make out who it is
  9. XCU of touching bare body or gripping arm
  10. close ups of tattoos- strobing through shots in black and white
  11. close up track up tattooed arm ?
  12. the first few performance shots in night vision
  13. studio lights in performance background turn on with the beat one at a time ( 2 different shots) as they come on the night vision changes. - similar affect on the audience to that given in Justin Timberlake's 'my love' whereby black and white colour contrasts alternate via lighting and costume.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeNzKWDZtfs
  14. once the studio lighting illuminates the wall the artist walks back and shot changes to close up against the wall (side on) as he begins to spray paint
  15. slow-mo: shots of artist not singing but brands his image. e.g. shots sitting on floor with arms in legs staring at camera, or offscreen. -basically POSING LIKE A MODEL
  16. slow-mo side on: XCU of 'dusty' punch bag and as it is hit the dust (powder) surrounds the glove.
  17. instead of water coming out of mouth ( as this looked quite poor on camera during the test shoot 13/9/08) i thought CU of the shower head turning on would have the same phallic connotations.
  18. CU of gold chain dropping from a males neck- connotations of emasculating the males.
  19. MCU of two men arguing facing each other and one grab the other by the scuff of the neck
  20. then XCU of the scruff of the neck as this suggests a sexualised gesture code. - a shot with multiple interpretations
  21. handprints on a steamy window/ shower screen.
  22. close up of liam taking a male's belt off
  23. MCU-CU of liam grabbing male pushing him against wall, with facial contact (KISS NOT NEEDED!)
  24. possibly shots of male or liam's are being forced/pinned to the wall.
