LONDON SCHOOL OF BARBERING WITH AJ

This video showcases and documents AJ's short tutorial at the London School of Barbering, where he demonstrated his barbering skills while teaching the tips and tricks of the trade. The narrative structure for this video starts with an introduction to the setting, followed by a focus on AJ as the central character. The video then shifted to highlight the teaching aspect, showcasing the details of the haircut tutorial.

To capture the essence of AJ’s technique and the physicality of barbering, the video shows various camera techniques. These included adjusting the shutter speed to create a blur effect that matched the slow, precise movements of the trim machine, as well as using a low aperture, creating a shallow depth of field and split screens to emphasise each of the other details of the trimming process. The slow shutter speed helped emphasise the physical energy AJ invested into the haircut, but also conveyed the attention to detail in his craft, especially while styling the hair using his fingertips.
