Music Video

On the 9th October 2017, we began setting up our location of the stage with the lighting we would like. We have chosen to film on the stage as this will allow us access to different lighting techniques, fits to the type of video we are hoping to create which is performance and is also practical as the stage allows for plenty of room for the dancers to perform. We have chosen to use the school stage as we have easy access to this and this is also a safe and secure environment for us to film our video in. The lighting we have chosen for our video is a purple lighting, with a stain-glass window projected onto the back wall and a spotlight on our artist. Ceri and I chose purple lighting as we feel this will create a moody and atmospheric effect however the purple is not too dull and will still look interesting on screen.

Lighting Plans from Steph2000 This plan details the lights we will be using while filming. We will be having 2 lights on each side of the stage, within the wings. These lights will be clear white lights that will project no colour however will provide sharp and professional lighting for our video. We will also be having two spotlights on the middle bar to project clear and sharp lighting onto our singer. This will also help our artist to stand out and be easier to see and place her within the video. Our final lights are the eight lights which are coloured purple and this will bask the stage in a purple glow, which creates the feel and style we wanted. The colour purple adds interest and individuality to the video while following the indie genre.
