I have done some research into camera angles in James Bay's music videos.
I have looked at 'Let it Go' and found this wonderful shot where the camera moves around James Bay's body from one side of his face to the other. I love this shot as it is unique and shows the setting in the clip. It also shows the lighting and doesn't just focus on the musician in the video.
I have also looked at the video 'Stealing Cars' by Bay which is very simple but has different shots in it. I love this medium close up that zooms in to a close up of Bay's face. At first the medium close up shows the surroundings and the guitar but after zooming in it focuses on the musician which I like as it makes the video more personal and central to the musician and not just the setting around him.
I have taken inspiration from this video and attempted to film my own footage including a few zooms in.
