Researching Colour in Music Videos

Many modern music videos edit the colour of the films. This can include making the music video black and white which can either make it appear classy and glamorous or portray it as sad and emotional. Many vidoes also use colour filters to tint the video a certain colour. This could make it appear warm, cold, summery, lively or calm etc. I have researched videos using these different methods to see how the video portrays the characters.

Black And White Music Videos
Classy and Glamorous



Along with the outfits chosen and settings of these two music videos, the artists are made to appear wealthy and glamourous.
Evoking sympathy



In both music videos above, the settings and outfits are very basic, portraying the characters as lonely and sad.

Colour Filters

Rihanna, Only Girl in the World
Katy Perry, Teenage Dream

Both of these videos has had the colour altered, using a colour filter. While the top one has a pink affect, making it very girly and warm, the bottom one looks quite old with a subtle blue filter. This gives quite a calm appearance.
