The common shot types in the video are probably the close-ups and medium close-ups of the artists (Charlie and I), and also the prop (instrument). We used the close-ups mainly when it was time for the artists to sing in the song, and the base tracks in this video are the close-ups of me when I'm in the park and walking with the prop, as well as Charlie's front and side close-ups. The basic structure in the video is that the close-ups prepare the audience to expect that person to sing next in the song, and when we see the establishing shots in the beginning, it tells the audience that there is a build up - an instrumental part, before the song actually starts.
We went out to look for spacious places to film, meaning this video is not focused on the lyrics, and is a Disjuncture.
We edited the video to some of the prominent beats in the song, and the in the first 15 seconds the traffic lights count down to when I begin signing the first verse, so we have incorporated parts of mise-en-scene to aid the song's rhythm. There are also a lot transitions throughout the video which suggest Charlie and I are singing at the same time/ in sync.
Because I was outside, it was hard for me to sing the lyrics load enough to hear in playback, which made putting in markers harder for the group in post-production, however we did a good job in placing them either way, as it looks like I'm signing in sync for the most part.
