Out of Focus

Noche Nada by Givers includes many different shots, most of which blur out of focus and then cuts to a refined shot that is in focus. This effect is good because it keeps the audience entertained and adds a home-made video aspect to it and it's not clear cut and professional, it blurs lines and colour to create a unique video.

Summertime Sadness contains blurry shots due to the vintage effect, which makes the footage out of focus.

This effect has been achieved with experimenting with water, creating a distorted and blurred effect, something our out of focus shots hope to achieve.

Daughter uses some out of focus shots in their video which they use to move from one band member to another as a transition but without cutting/editing. 

Car shots

This music video incorporates Katy Perry sitting in a car looking out at the natural scenery. We will also be incorporating this into our music video although our artist won't be singing whilst in the car, like Katy Perry is here. 

Even though this video is not english, the same idea has been used to film shots inside a car. The shot of the two people in the back seat is good, however we plan to film Rosa-Leigh in the passenger seat, with her hands out of the window.

At the beginning of The Black Keys music video they use an inside the car shot for only a few seconds but it is at a similar angle to what we ant to use but more panned to the left so that you can see the artist and the natural scenery outside the window of the car. 

Shots from Above

In Noche Nada by Givers, the actors are filmed lying on the ground at around 3:06. We hope to achieve this look in our video too, filming Rosa-Leigh singing on the ground, her hair displayed in a similar position.

At around 1:05 in the video (and displayed as the image above) Hayley Williams from Paramore lies down in the cards and is filmed from above. Although we are not zooming out, we are attempting the technique used in Noche Nada, this is still a good representation of what we hope to achieve and where we got the idea from.
