Creative Camera Effects & Shot Ideas


After discussing having a disco-ball as a prop, our teacher gave us the idea of shooting the reflections in it to have a new creative shot. This then sparked a brainstorm for different props we could shoot through and the contents of shots. Daisy and I created a couple of lists...

An example of this is stop-motion, things we discussed that we could make stop motion include:

  • peach tart
  • stop motion jumping
Props we thought of being able to shoot through includes:
  • discoball
  • bubbles
  • fish tank
  • kaleidoscope glasses
  • snow globe - to do this Daisy would create a snow globe using plasticine to recreate the band themselves that we would be able to film through in the video and then use later on in promotion
  • blender
  • perception shots
  • lava lamp
  • microscope
  • magnifying glass
  • camera/ polaroid
  • fish eye lens
  • CDs
  • light refractor
  • phone
  • glass ball

An example of kaleidoscope glasses


Another idea that we had to end the video (when RALFY says "and that was peach") for him to take a picture of the 'behind the scenes' and show it to the camera in order to break the fourth wall and show his honesty with his fans and that he is a down-to-earth character.

Daisy and I also thought of props for the background of the performance shot such as:
  • flowers/ plants
  • hanging beads
  • piñata 
  • tapestries
  • carpets






We're unsure whether its worth buying a piñata or not, however, we could easily make one with cardboard.
