Planning colour and lighting

Colour and lighting is important because it affect the quality of the recording, with bad lighting the video will look bad because the artist wouldn't be in the spot light. It also affect the mood because if the song is about sad times there will be not might lighting but if its a happy dance song it will have bright lights with colours. A red stoplight will alway represent danger, while blue will show loneliness.


Our scene in the forest will be done on a bright day showing that this was a happy day in the past, by having it so bright and sunny the audience can see that this was a happy time for both people. When she is on her own we will move to the shade showing that she is lonely this will be very affective because it will be so clear we might also put a filter over this to make it more affective. We will use the same idea when filming the tree shot because this is the part where they become distant, and the tare in there relationship starts to show.

Fireworks
We have planned to do some filming at night time meaning we will have to use a spot light to even see the artist. The spot light represents that everything around her doesn't matter. But this also shows that they are in a dark place in there relationship, we will add smoke to make it seem even more dark and mysterious. We will also be using her dancing with sparklers this will reflect that when when things are dark she carries on happily. The fireworks are there to show all the little arguments arising making cracks and distance between them. Conventions of a dance video are that they are either are all dark with a spot light or something to make the main artist more visible, or they are in high light and the artist is centre.


We are going to record her dancing in a bath room and getting ready for a party this will have to be very bright because of her over coming being with this guy. This will also work well with the all white and black bath room, making it all seem high contrast. This will also make her seem more angelic and pure to the audience. Though out the video when a certain sound is made we are going to use a filter the splits her into 3 different people this will reflects on the different stages of the video,green will be happiness, blue will be sadness, while red will be anger I think this affect will be more affective.


Within the night club we have decided to have blue and white flashing lights, this is conventional to have flashing party lights in a dance video. The blue will show that she is now lonely and lost. We are aiming to bring a spot light as well so that she stands out more then everyone else surrounding her, and she will also wear a bright red dress which will help her stand out more.
