Lighting...
For the dancing scenes
of the music video, I felt it was extremely important to get the lighting right
– in order to create and set the mood of the narrative: a relationship breaking
down. Therefore, I researched into existing music videos with a similar narrative (love story) and took note of the lighting used.
Within the
following three existing music videos (below), I found that a similar idea was
used for the lighting – dark lighting with a blue tint and a spotlight. I feel
that this look creates the perfect mood for the opening of my music video – a
magical / intriguing tone with the only focus upon Amelia - the main star in
the music video. Furthermore,
I feel that the lighting adheres to Richard Dyer’s ‘Star Theory’ – the idea
that viewers perception of a film is heavily influenced by the perception of
its stars and that publicity materials and reviews determine the way that
audiences experience a media text; meaning that the audience will view my video
and automatically identify Amelia as the main role as the focus and attention
is upon her.

My Music Video
In order to achieve the lighting how
I wanted it to look, I asked the technician at ‘NAPA’ to help set up the
lighting box for me. Together, we both adjusted and played around with the
different settings and controls until the look I wanted was achieved.
