Camera Angles Research

Shawn Mendes I Know What You Did Last Summer featuring Camila Cabello has multiple different shots. It switches from long shots to mid shots frequently, especially during the beginning of the song.

There are lots of side on shots, putting the singer at the side of the shot instead of centred. Many of the close up shots are at an angle, they're not completely side view but also not face on, it's more of a 45 degree angle shot of half their face.

There's also a few high angle shots, looking down on the singer. Normally meaning a lack of power, being smaller than the others, however in the context of this song, Camila is the one with the power as she is presented as the cheater the song sings about.

As well as a low angle shot, looking up at the singer. Giving Shawn a vulnerable and crushed look as he figures out about his lovers cheating behind his back. It's the opposite effect of the high angle shot, making him look small and fragile while Camila looks strong and powerful.
