  • Then an medium close-up shot of him singing
  • Fades into a wide shot
  • Then uses a series of medium close-up shots and medium shots, fading in-between them
  • Dissolves to different scenes during party

Sound:
  • Diegetic sound since the artist is singing along to it, meaning that he is able to hear the song.
