PLANNING - SHOT LIST

We feel that the most important thing in our music video is to contain lots of shots  ranging not only in distance, but in what they are showing as well. We feel that in order to get the best shots possible, we should film each shot for the duration of the song. We would cover each instrument and band member, in order to promote the band as much as possible in the video. we feel we need to have many close-up, mid shots, and long shots in a mixture of high, middle and low angles. The shots that we plan to use are visible in multiple videos that are only comprised of band shots by the indie-rock band, The Strokes, with their songs 'Under Cover of Darkness', 'Reptilia' and 'You Only Live Once' being key sources of influence. These are a list of the shots we plan to film, along with examples from existing music videos by The Strokes:
