Camera shots used in 21 Guns (alt rock research)

close up - this is used to show all of the expressions in the artists and the people's faces e.g. when bullets are shooting through the wall the woman is screaming and looks scared
zoom - this is mainly used in the first half of the music video and it is used to tell the audience what to focus on
over shoulder shot - this is used a couple of time throughout the video and they are, shots of the artists, when woman is on chair arm and man in background and some more
two person shot - this is used mainly to focus on the two people in the music video when they are together as a couple and it is also used sometimes on the artists
establishing shot - this is used mainly on the artists to show the audience that the artists are in the hotel room with the actors
mid shot - this is mainly used with the artists, how ever there are moments when it focuses on the actors e.g. when the actors walk up to each other and hug
extreme close up - this is used to emphasise the shooting and what damage it causes e.g. all of the glass vases being smashed
long shot - this is used to show the audience what is happening in the video and it has all of the actors and artists in the shot
low angle shots - this is mainly used on the artists, however there is a couple of shots that are if the actors e.g. when the telephone rings
tracking shot - this is used when the two actors are walking to each other and the camera follows them walking
pan shot - this is used throughout the video, but is mainly used at the last half of it e.g. when the actors are together hugging
