Hurt - Johnny Cash (media student video)

This video is by an A-level media student from the U.S and is put together extremely well. When researching some videos at this point I needed inspiration for a story - this is perfect! I am going to tell a story of two people in love.

I loved this first opening shot. The lighting is very clever where the light shines on the boy. I need to think about use of lighting carefully in the indoor scenes but not so much in the outdoor scenes.



I need to include lots of shots of typical 'love' gestures. This one is really cute. The camera starts at their foot and slowly pans up to their faces.



This low angled shot is very effective especially how it is composed with the cable lines behind them. I need to think about which camera positions I could use effectively in my own video.





Perhaps I could take a shot similar to the one below, and then continue it in a moving sequence. That could be quite interesting.



I thought the slow pan upwards to the sky at the end was a very clever ending. I may well use this in my video.
