Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

I have decided to look at this video again purely for the camera shots.

There are lots of shots in this video, almost every second, This is very effective and typical of a pop video and we would like to also create this affect with our music video. There are also a lot of filler shots in the video, which are quick, short shots that add to the story. For example in this video you have Meghan sitting on the floor with a barbie doll, then returns to the performance and then quickly cuts back to this filler shot. It has a fairly comical feel to it which we would like to portray in our 'Dear Future Husband' video. Having filler shots is also a good idea to get a good range in. We're going to have a lot of scenes, so it is important for us to film a lot of extra footage to use as filler shots so we can get that fast cutting rate in time with the song.

We highlighted all the words we see her sing and it is quite a lot but it is the most important words that are trying to send out a message. We are going to try and get this same convention in our video, but not have as much lip syncing as our video will be mostly narrative. 

We also drew a line on the lyrics to represent a cut in the video. This was very hard as there was so many. However it made us realise how many different shots are in music videos, and the volume of shots we need in ours.
