Research & Planning: Subway Shots

One of the specific shots which really worked well in terms of constructing an indie themed music video, was the use of props which we had. In particular, for the smoking shots: we used a long shot of the artist sitting along the floor and then zoomed in using an extreme close up shot of the artist flicking the lighter on and off. Next, we shot the artist lighting the cigarette (using a depth of field shot) and this composed an urban / gritty atmosphere and mood / tone to our footage, which we were aiming for. These shots also complement specific lyrics within our song reinforcing relevance, "burns in the distances higher."
