Wiz Khalifa - See You Again ft. Charlie Puth



The video begins with a shot of a clifftop at sunset using high angle, followed by Khalifa walking down a highway road with camera looking up at then slowly lifting up to a high angle shot; Puth is then shown singing the chorus whilst sitting at, and playing, a piano located between two cars, at this point the camera is panning around him showing him in the foreground whilst also showing the background scenery.

The camera soon cuts to multiple footages from the movie fast and furious. The editing and shot techniques used during this part include, panning, timelapse, high angle, zoom, wide and far angle.

As soon as Wiz Khalifa begins rapping, montages of multiples scenes from the movie show again but this time close ups and medium shots showing more of the actors than the landscape. Within those montages are also cuts of Wiz Khlifa rapping with medium shots again in the sunset. Another transisition other than cut used is fade as he talks about death, this shows how he people slowly just disappear and creates a feeling for the audience.

The song ends with a birds eye view of two cars racing down a single road the switching paths whitch signify how Paul has passed on, the camera then pans up into the sky and slowly fades out indicating the death of the actor.

I can borrow similar techniques and styles used in this music video in my own, for example panning around the singer and location shots as it prevents the video from looking boring from stills. The lighting used are all natural which I also will be using outdoors, however due to being near a winter season where there is going to be less sunshine and more dark, we may need to use atifictal lighting.

  1. Usman, this is not a proper case study, it is just a series of notes. You need to write a much more detailed analysis, of three music videos. Disappointing start! Vanessa
