Fisheye Lens and Tove Lo

In the music video Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) - Hippie Sabotage Remix I really love the fish eye lens effect, I think it really bring a kind of intensity to the piece as though you are with the girl, following her through he repetitious violent cycle of repeatedly going out to drink to forget how she really feels, you almost feel uncomfortable close as you watch her. It appears as though she is having fun, although there is definitely as sinister underlying tone that comes out towards the end. 




After looking into fisheye lens more I have found out that they are used in photography to gain an ultra wide angled shot, which could be helpful as we are also worried about space as we only have as high as the ceiling to shoot the piece. The name for the lens was created by and American physicist and inventor named Robert W. Wood in 1906, and it is based on how a fish would view the world, and now they are generally used for their distortion.

If it is not possible for us to use this lens there is the chance that one of our members has a gopro which she said also give off a similar effect, also I know of an effect in after effects that we would be able to use to also create this effect.
