I love this shot and how it showcase the dancing in the centre from the show "Shake It Up" on Disney Channel. The shot strongly resembles the proscenium staging commonly used in theatres in which the audience directly face the actors on the stage. As the Actors are performing, in this case dancing the audience directly face them and because of this, it is easier to watch the dance moves.
There is also a mid-shot of the character as the speak about performing the various dances. Doing this will ensure that the audience are not too far away from the conversation as well as showcasing the various characters confidence of their abilities with their arrogant bodily expressions after completing their little dance segments.
The scene cuts from mid-shot to central frame and back to mid-shot every time they dance. The flow of this is used to interest the audience. The central frame is used to show the actors' full body and the surrounding area while they dance so the audience can see it better, and the mid-shots are used to show the bodily reactions of the actors to the dancing, which the audience will also be interested in seeing. The central frame used while the actors were dancing also shows the importance of dancing to the show as the central frame is only used to showcase the dancing.
The audience are more involved with the scene as the central frame keeps you in line with the performers. The scene impacts on the audience even more when the camera slowly tracks "Ty" as he moonwalks which reflects the way the audience would watch him.
As my music video will contain varied individual dance performances, this sort of camera shot is vital to make the audience more interested in the video and the dancing shown on it.
