The camera work used in Avril Lavigne's music video, Skater boy, is very interesting and meaningful. At the beginning of the video the camera does a lot of close up shots on Avril Lavigne herself which shows her much closer up which means that we can understand her more and how she feels about the song as reading her emotions is easier when the camera is closer. During the scene when she is singing on the stage there are a lot of low angle shots to show her whole body whilst she is performing. This can help us understand the way that she performs in and how she interacts with her fans during a concert. Lastly, during her performance the audience members are jumping up and down a lot this can make the whole scene more authentic as the camera is shaking in time with the dancers.

ReplyDelete1. Good on audience interaction: that is one key element. Identify her emotions: triumph (snarling face), aggression, competitiveness, love for Sk8er Boi
2. Low angle: creates power
3. Handheld: good point
