One idea we had for the camera work in the video is to start with a basic tripod shot of the band playing however on the lyric "Jimmy quit, Jody got married" we edit out the relevant members of the band until the singer is the only one left.
I feel one of the key themes of the song "Summer of 69" is remebering and nostalagia and the camera can help highlight these themes by starting with the singer/protagonist looking through a photo album before circling to an over the shoulder close up of the photos within the album, emphasing the stills of the protagonist with a love intrest before the scene ends on the lyric "and that's when I met you yeah" with the protagonist turning the page of the photo album revealing a new scene.
