Camera Movement and Editing

 

Camera Movement

1: Handheld

The camera has a visible shake to it, almost like it was handheld. The shakiness adds to the action packed nature of the chase, making it feel more frantic and urgent as the character has to put up a fight to get out of his situation.

2: Crane

We can clearly see the camera follow the character up, as he progresses up through the building. It's most clear when he's climbing the ladder; the camera follows him as he climbs. This adds a more "epic" feel to the scene, with it also feeling very dramatic.

3: Tilt

Going back to the ladder scene, we can also notice the camera tilting up/down. As the character is climbing, the camera tilts up a lot, to the point where we can see the character vertically. As the character is fighting, the camera tilts down to show the action. This helps make the character feel more powerful, as he's beating and evading an entire group of police.

Editing

1: Match cuts

Throughout the scene, we can notice match cuts that directly cuts to another part of the action, rather than to a different scene. This type of cut helps make the scene feel way more frantic and active, as the shot isn't very static.

2: Pace

The pace of the editing and it's shots is very fast, thrilling and energetic. Considering the clip consists of a chase sequence, the energetic nature the pace brings is very much needed to add more excitement.

  Camera shot 1: Medium Shot This camera shot is used frequently, and it's a shot of a character from head to torso.

Camera shot 2: Two shot This camera shot is also used frequently, and it's shot consists of two characters in one scene. In the clip we see quite a bit of two shots, so this could indicate teamwork between characters. Camera shot 3: Close-up This shot is also used quite frequently; it's of a character visible from head to shoulder. The shot could be used to emphasise the stakes of this scene, considering how close the camera is next to the characters. It could also mean closeness and/or close proximity between the characters, as they are in direct communication with each other. Camera angle: Low angle The camera is almost always at a low angle throughout the clip and it's scenes. It could be used to indicate the power that...

Music video: Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

  Audience 1) The target demographic for Arctic Monkeys' music are late teens - early adults who are most likely in the middle class; most of them would also happen to be from western countries. The psychographic group for their music is most likely the Struggler, or any other group that fits an average everyday person. 2) Diversion/distraction from the things around them, as the song is fast-paced and upbeat, and would likely catch their attention and keep them focused on the song. 3)  4) Fans shared their music on P2P websites, allowing a lot more people to hear their music globally. Because a lot more people had listened to their music, this meant that they were a lot more popular than they'd initially thought. 5) They would most likely respond with excitement and/or happiness.
