The techniques i will be using to create my  video:

• Pan from left to right/right to left - panning is the sweeping movement of a camera across a scene or the appearance of such movement in a video as created by EditDV's PZR filter.

• Close up shots - close-up tightly frames a person or an object.  Close-ups display the most detail, but they do not include the broader scene. Moving in to a close-up or away from a close-up is a common type ofzooming.
• Wide angle shots taken from low points/high points - a wide angle lens is one that projects a substantially larger image circle than would be typical for a standard design lens of the same focal length; this enables either large tilt & shift movements with a view camera, or lenses with wide fields of view.
• Tilt shots from low to high/high to low
• Shots using manual focus with a object approaching the camera
• A pull focus shot

i will be making 3 shots as an example of each of these bullet points.

Andy Fallon

 Andy Fallon is a music photographer based in London, who mainly focuses on music and portrait photography. With over 15 years experience he has worked with over 100 different bands and artists as many magazines use him for their shoots.
many of his shoots are totally out of the ordinary, such as his shoot with the Liars, where he used giant bubbles to cover the band members. The majority of Andy's work is Location photography, he rarely does basic portraits such as the Beth Jeans shoot, however, this isn't so basic as her clothes and hair aren't very ordinary. 

 This Delphic shoot above was created using 5 police torches strapped to a piece of wood and the camera set to a long 30 second exposure. Andy said: "The idea was to create the feel of stress and electricity" 

Personally, this photo is my favourite from all of Andy's work. i love the colour and randomness and how the clothes work so well with the backdrop.

Tom Oxley is a music photographer that mainly does shoots for the magazine 'NME'. He varies everything he does and no shoots are similar. Some can be basic, based on fashion, out of the studio at a location, using props or even on tour at venues with some of the artists. He also does photo manipulation with some photographs. Tom uses a variety of different equipment, i cannot specify as the isn't much about tom Oxley on the internet, he seems to be very confidential about his work. i'd imagine that he has a variety of different cameras and lighting equipment for when he is either on location or in a studio. I would like to base some of my photos on Tom's prop work, but it may be to far fetched and hard to do.

One thing that is consistent through all of his work is colour, mainly on the shoots he does with women. he likes his photos to be bold and noticeable, much like any other photographer.

Examples of studio/fashion shoots:

Studio shoots with props:

personally, these shots are my favorite from them all. the colour and activity draws the eyes in.

Examples of location shoots:

Tom on tour with Artists:

This is the CD cover i created for my band 'The Lorens'. 
Firstly i went out and did a small shoot with no lighting, seeing as i only needed an outline, this wasn't necessary. i then edited it in Photoshop, adding text, making the people and bench into a silhouette and making into a square CD cover shape.

GUMMY BEAR CHASE!

This is the stop start video that i created from my photos which i later edited in iMovie and added sound effects/music. It was created so that we could understand what it the videos were about and how to make them,it was also to help us discover how to use iMovie.
