Lighting for our music video

Lighting is really important in created a certain mood or atmosphere. For the majority of our music video we want to create a more dark mood, to reflect how our characters are feeling. But it is important for us to show a contrast in lighint between the characters and our female vocalist.


Scene 1 : Female Vocalist And Drummer (Field)
We wanted a lot of light here and timed it for when the sun was at its brightest, this gave a really good effect and a lot of light as well.


Scene 2 : Child Alone
We wanted quite low key lighting here so we had shadows as well as creating a darker mood.


Scene 3 : Drug Addict
We wanted this scence almost dark, but enough so you could tell what the character was doing, it also made the scene more effective with the headlights of cars passing.


Scene 4: Pregnancy
This scene was shot in a house so we wanted the lighting at a medium, to fit with the location.


Scene 5: Couple At Dinner
The location here was again a house, so we wanted the lighting again at a medium, the lighting wasn't as important in this scene as the others.


Scene 6: The Rose
We wanted quite low key lighting here but complete focus on the rose to do this we used a torch to centralize the rose.


Scene 7: Female Vocalist (White Wall)
The location is pretty self explanatory, we wanted as much light as possible to contrast from the more darker scenes, we used a lot of big lights to give us very high key lighting.
