Ash Bowers: Stuck Music Video Analysis – First 20 Shots

I decided that I would look further in detail just to the first 20 shots of the music video that could give me a better understanding of how to create my own.

1. Establishing shot: shows an industrial setting, a reference to the lyric about working on an assembly line.
2. Tilt: the artist, Ask Bowers, walking Down a bridge with his guitar letting the audience know he is on a journey and also lets the audience know that he is the focus of the video
3. Dolly shot: A new location; a shed or warehouse like setting Bowers playing guitar, emphasizes that he is the focus of the video(amplifying section)
4. Low angle and slow Zoom: back to the bridge Bowers is walking down, the slow zoom helps build the tension towards the singing
5. Medium shot: in a shed or warehouse like setting, Bowers now playing guitar and singing, there is a quick zoom in towards him.
6. Medium shot and Dolly shot: shows Bowers walking down the bridge, this time he is singing
7. Dolly shot: in the shed/warehouse:
