One shot (music video)

One shot (music video)

A "one-shot" is any music video which consists of action, continuous in time and space, from the perspective of a single camera[citation needed] — a single long take. In order to be able to make one shot videos several special techniques are used. Most commonly the stage props which are not currently caught on cameras are changed during the shot. For other videos some parts are filmed before the final shot and then replayed on screens in the video.

One of the most famous music video directors for this genre is Michel Gondry, who has done many of his videos in this style.

Videos Mistaken for One Shot

The Video for Numb was not one continuous shot but was spliced together from two separate takes. The cut between the two happens when the camera turns away from the face of guitarist, and singer on this track, The Edge and the cut was hidden by having smoke blowing in from the side of the frame.
Although often cited as an example of a One shot video, Bitter Sweet Symphony actually contains several cuts to reverse angles and close ups and is not one long take.
The Video for The Sweetest Thing appears to be one continuous shot; however, in a Channel 4, documentary discussing the Greatest Pop Videos of all time, the director Kevin Godley revealed that it was filmed in 3 shots, each shot transition hidden by a lens flare.[5]
  • OK Go - This Too Shall Pass, 2010 - Rube Goldberg Machine video
The Rube Goldberg Machine was filmed as three continuous takes which were spliced together in post production. In interviews, Band member Damian Kulash and Machine Builder Hector Alvarez both admit to a cut at 2:27 when a curtain opens. This was done because each of the three shots was marred, by the camera in the wrong position or crew members being visible in shot.[6]
