Planning: Lighting and colour

The different types of lighting and colour create various effects and emotions for the audience. Throughout my music video I'm planning to use low-key lighting to sync in with the narrative and themes of my music video which will help to create a certain mood as well as an atmosphere.

Rihanna ft. Eminem - Love the way you lie

The lighting in this music video is High-key back lighting in the scenes which the couple are together in the house. The lighting represents a natural effect which makes the scene look more realistic in comparison to the other parts of the music video which contain various amount of lighting techniques. Moreover, we would like to use something similar when showing flashbacks of the couple arguing or spending time together. In addition, this is because it will help the audience to relate more to the scenes which take part as they look realistic. Lastly, the use of this lighting will help as the colours through editing will be able to stand out more.

Leona Lewis -Bleeding love

The lighting in this music video is High- key top lighting in the scenes where the artist is presented with a performance. The lighting represents a glamorous  effect which helps to enhance star image. This helps the artist to appeal to the audience as the audience is attracted to the appealing star image on screen. We would like to use something similar when presenting our female character in the music video. Lastly, this is because we want our female character to appeal to our audience members as I believe this is the most effective way of attracting an audience

The colour in this music video is orange. The colour helps to represent a flash back which will occur within the artists narrative story as well as a romantic theme. The use of this colour helps the audience to  separate the difference within the flashbacks and the present. I would like to use something similar when presenting the past of the couple
