Editing- Dolly Shots and Low Angle Shots

Dolly Shots

Most music videos make such extensive use of the dolly that a static shot seems anomalous.

The dolly shot help keeps the video moving; it starts almost invariably as soon as the video begins, and only ceases towards the end. It provides a simple way for music videos to catch and sustains a songs momentum.

Low Angle Shots in Videos

These are used more extensively in music videos, partly because they reproduce relations among the audience, performer and stage.  Such shots centre authority upon performers and assert their sexual charisma, often crudely, by highlighting the erogenous zones of performers. A high angle shot in music videos, as in film, gives the viewer a sense of power and mobility. (Carol Vernallis).
