Planning: Lighting & Colour - Ms Begum

 Lighting & Colour

 

Introduction:

Within our music video, we are going to use a lot of low key lighting and colour. This is because the colours and the low key lighting within the music video we are planning to use goes along with the mood and feel our video.

Angles of Lighting:

- Top Lighting

- Back Lighting

- Under Lighting

Types of Lighting:

- High Key

- Low Key

Music video that relate to the lighting and colour of my music video:

Lighting and colour– Smile 

The lighting is natural lighting which adds a very natural and soft tone to the events in the music video. There are also moments of high key lighting which I like as it enhances ‘star image’ and the activities that the characters are engaging in. The colour almost has a brown/gold look to it which suits the genre of Jazz/swing because it sets a very relaxed mood to it. I like the use of lighting and will look to use this, as the soft tones reflect what we will be looking to show. 

 

 

 

Lighting and colour – Suit and Tie 

It is black and white in colour. I really like the use of this as it is cool and urban and gives the video a really classic look for such a modern artist. The lighting is low-key at times, and also high-key depending on what activities they are engaging in. I really like the use of black and white to create a classic feel to the video so this is something I will want to include in my video, especially at the start to create mystery around my character. 

 

 

 

Lighting and colour – That’s life 

Because of the time period this video was filmed in, naturally it is in black and white. This allows the video to have a mature look to it and like the ‘Suit and Tie’  video, this is something I want to implement in my music video. 

 

 

 

I definitely feel like I will use black and white colour in my music video, and keep to really soft lighting to create a chilled atmosphere within my narrative.
