Lighting

I have already carried out research into lighting in music videos; my group therefore will try and develop this in our own music video.

To ensure the characters and props can be seen clearly, we want the scenes to be bright and clear and will therefore need artificial lights for the inside scenes, particularly in the bedroom scenes at the start as this room is naturally quite dark and so would not show the actress well. We will borrow the school lights and use 2, positioning them at different angles to light up the actress well without causing shadows across her face.

I have labelled the window at the side but the lighting is very limited from here and so will not increase the light from this angle.

Something I noticed from music video lighting research was that the music videos both tried managed to create the same lighting and brightness in each of the clips, whether these were inside, only changing the lighting if it was a night, rather than day, scene. Therefore we too will aim to get a similar level of lighting throughout by controlling the two lights we will borrow and aiming to film on days with similar weather e.g. avoid one day it being very sunny and another cloudy. However, this is difficult to anticipate and plan.
