Music Video 1: Black Eyed Peas 'Let's get it started'


Shot grab:

Between 0.28 and 1.00

I'd love to be able to incorporate the opening shot sequence where the camera pans in a semi-circular motion, whilst the artist stays in shot. This could work with any performance shots, moving between guitarist, bassist and drummer. It would also work in crowd scenes, the camera drawing the audience's attention back to the visual hook/performer.

I like the movement it adds, the smooth transition it creates between shots, and I'd like to learn how to do it with the camera and editing equipment available. It would definitely work well with the speedy tempo of the track.
