As being a musician myself I have a lot of interest in music videos along with that I follow a lot of bands like Coldplay, Linkin Park, Twenty-one pilots, etc. Musical videos of these bands are very creative and they use camera techniques that make the audience indulge in the music video. An example is the twenty-one pilots song " Heathens ". This music video is shot in a jail cell and still, they have used such amazing camera techniques to make the audience enjoy the feeling of the song. Shots and camera movements solely depend upon the type of music and the genre of music. If the song is of rock genre the camera movements will have to adjust accordingly. Obviously, we cant use slow camera movements on the rock music as it will deteriorate the true essence of the song.
These are a few of many Camera Angles :
1) High angle
2) Low Angle
3) Over the shoulder
4) Birds eye
5) Dutch Angle


Camera Shots :
1) Close-up
2) Medium shot
3) Long Shot
4) Extreme Closeup
5) Long shots
