influential videos

The rooftop shot in this video has been influential in our choice to do a rooftop shot in our video. This feeling of elevation it brings gives power and status to the artist whilst also a sense of achievement due to them reaching these great heights.

It also brings an element of danger as it feels as if they are close to the edge but still on top which connotes you have to be a risk taker to be successful in life. This links to the theme in our video of the journey through life and reaching success or achieving good things even through adversities. If you notice the camera movement whilst they are on the roof is  constantly moving to keep the feeling of disorientation meanwhile they're actions are triumphant and confident bringing a contrast between the two.

Along with all this, the rooftop shot is an establishing shot. It immediately gives the viewer and idea of where these artist are from or just where they currently are but either way giving them a better understanding of the context through to background which highlights the location.
