Filming perspective

I also thought of a filming perspective in our group, so what our audience would feel like while watching the promotional video. I thought of a first person perspective, so the camera appears like you are looking through someone's eyes and seeing what they see. I thought this would be a great way to get our audience interested in my video, as they will feel more involved if things were shot in a first person perspective. I will ask members of the group who shoots at the junction to get some shots like this and hopefully we can create this effect.

The specific parts we thought would be good in first person were:


- The shot of the tickets being handed out at the door, so back and forth. I thought a shot of the ticket being passed to the person appearing as the camera and the person's hands taking the ticket.
- Perhaps a walk backstage, or a perspective from the crowd to the band, so it appears like you the audience are actually watching the band as opposed to it being clear somebody filmed it. Here are some examples of the first person type of perspective I think would be good in our video.





The specific example I showed Simon was from a TV show called Peep Show, which uses first person shots quite a lot. The link to the youtube video is here to show the first person shots in the video. A screenshot of one is below:


Overall, Simon liked this idea and said it was something different which would keep the audience interested. In response, I think now with Simon's thoughts on the idea I will progress further into turning this idea into reality for the promotional video.
