How the camera is used and how the images are sequenced will have an impact on the meaning. Consider the camera movement, camera angles and shot distance. Camera movement may also be used to create a more dynamic feel to a stage performance (an example of this is repeatedly circling the band as they perform on stage). The close-up predominates, as in most TV, partly because of the size of the screen and the desire to create a sense of intimacy for the viewer. It also emphasises part of the commodity on sale - the artist and their voice. Lighting can also be used to focus the audiences attention on the stars face.
The camerawork that we have used within our music video is very simplistic, this is because we didn't have a lot of time with the band or at the pub location. I think that if we'd have been more organised and have used the band in a remote setting to perform on their own without an audience then we would have been able to use more complex camera work.
An example of how we could of used a space is below in McFly's music video for That's The Truth.
