Lighting ideas

2. • Pop music videos are very expensively made worldwide by many different
producers and artists, I want my music video to look as realistic as
possible.
• The lighting which is often conventional in pop music videos is bright,
bold, and very colourful.
• The lighting in music videos is a very important aspect of them, they
enhance the music video by a whole new level. Lighting in pop music
videos is often very dramatic and exaggerated to fit the music category.
• My song is from the pop genre but is a slowed down love song, but I still
want to incorporate the lighting ideas of a conventional pop music video
to make sure it is realistic and believable.

3. • The song that I am doing my music video to is a slow, pop love
song. The narrative needs to be reflected through my choice of
lighting.
• At some points of my music video I need my lighting to be very
dark and dramatic.
• But a lot of my music video is in fact set outside so I will need
to adjust the camera settings to make the footage not blurry
and of good quality.
• Also I will have to do some recording of the moon and stars so I
will have to make sure I am in a low light area and set my
camera to night scene to be able to record the sky clearly.

4. At the beginning of my music video the location is
pink/purple in colour so I will need the lighting to be
bright and colourful at this point. The colourful lighting
will reinforce the narrative.
When the location is set in a graveyard or in the dark
locations (woods, fields) the lighting for the cameras
will be dark (blues, reds) which have specific
connotations for the audience.
