Planning lighting and colour (Miss Georgiou)

Lighting and colour is important within a music video as they subtly project particular emotions and feelings that the artist is having or going through within the song to the audience. This reinforces the emotive tone within and behind the lyrics to the audience allowing the song to become clearer and the expressive tone of the artist to be clearer. This is important within the soul genre in particular as soul and the lyrics of the songs categorised within the genre choose to express certain emotions in elation to certain scenarios that are relateable to the audience and hindrances within life.

The colours I have chosen to use within the music video are neutral tones such as cream white and beige when the leading woman within the narrative is portraying the 'after' scenario within the narrative to express and co pry how the woman is bleak, depressed and empty. This is shown through these colours as they are boring and plain showing no emotion of expressing anything which is how the lady feels as through being scorned by love she is an empty she'll of the woman she was before and these colours reinforce this idea. On the other hand when in reflection despite feelings of nostalgia we are trying to create and capitate the happiness and joy of the times together  so we will inject colour to show how the her partner was her world and allowed her to see the world in more fun and in a better way.

In terms of lighting  we unwilling again on the situation where the actress is alone or the 'present time' we are choosing to use low level lighting or a singular light to foreshadow how the girl is some and also how she sees the world bleaker and as though these man was her  guiding lift or light of her life and so without him she has lost her way and has been lifey in darkness both physically and mentally. In contrast to their the lighting used when showing the flashbacks will be bright constant and intense to imitate and reflect the couples love.

  1. This post demonstrates basic planning techniques and this is because you have not explored your music video in enough detail and have only included a basic overview of lighting and colour styles.

    Therefore, you need to refer back to your storyboards, which will assist you with adding further points and examples, to demonstrate further planning techniques.
