Camera shots, angles and transitions research

I have researched various different camera shots, angles and transitions, not all of them will be used in the music video but i intend to use as many as possible.

Common shot sizes:

· Extreme close-up: Focuses on a single facial feature, such as lips and eyes.
· Close-up: May be used to show tension.

Medium shot: Often used, but considered bad practice by many directors, as it often denies setting establishment and is generally less effective than the Close-up.

Long shot

Establishing shot: Mainly used at a new location to give the audience a sense of locality.

Mise en scène" refers to what is colloquially known as "the Set," but is applied more generally to refer to everything that is presented before the camera. With various techniques, film makers can use the mise en scène to produce intended effects.
