'I Will Follow' by U2 live at Glastonbury 2011
Today, we discussed this video in class and talked about why different shots were used and what effect they create. There are a wide variety of shots, starting off with close ups of each members as they play/sing to introduce them at their part. This then changes to a shot of the crowd which introduces them to the viewers.
After everyone is introduced the cameras change shots to show what is going on. If there is a long singing part the cameras are focused around the lead singer. When the music builds up there is a whole band shot to show the band all playing together. Occasionally, there are more crowd shots or shots through the crowd to give the viewers a feel of the atmosphere going on, as if they were there.
The cameras are never static, instead they keep moving around either tracking a band member or pulling back/forth to keep the viewers watching online or at home more interested and give them a more realistic 'experience' as if they were there themselves.
