Planning; Lighting and Colour

In this post I will talk about the different types of lighting that will be used for the video and why.

The lighiting and colour that will be used in the video will be so that it conforms to the conventions of dance music videos and the genre itself, and it can help the narrative and concept.

Low key lighting with artificial lighting - Low key lighting will be used in the video to create that idea of nighttime which comes in correlation with artificial lights as they are used in the night time, the nightlife and partying is what where are trying to display in our video, and this ill relate to our target audience as they like nightlife and partying. The low key lighting can also give out a specific atmosphere and in the video there will be a fustrated couple and low key lighting can connote the upset in the video. In the video there will be scenes inside a house party, the lighting in there would be low key, and lighting would be artificial.

The grey tint that we will be using in our video

Natural lighting with dull greyish filter - In our video there will be scenes that are filmed outside. Natural lighting will be present when filming outside for example in the scenes when our character is kicked out of his girlfriends house. The natural lighting will give a natural aspect on our video, and it will give a range of lighting in out video as we will use artificial and low key also, and it is following the conventions for example in Calvin Harris videos 'Well Be Coming Back' and 'Feel so Close' there are scenes filmed outside. The outside shots and natural lighting can connote that our chracter is free form his girlfriend, and our audience, which feel that they are free as they do things independently, and party wherever and whenever they want. There will be a grey filter used to dull the colour in the video in some scenes, the scenes where there is upset and frustration with his girl friend, the when he gets money and dumps her it turns to colour to reflect a happy atmosphere
