Lighting

Lighting is a major part of any music video as without it the audience wouldn't be able to see what is going on. There is a range of different lighting which can create different mods and effects through the music video. Directors use this as a way of portraying a particular meaning in a song. For example if the lighting was little and dull then is would create a sad feeling which would highlight what the song is about. 

The song 'Mama' by Jonas Blue is a good example of how different light is used in a music video. This video uses mostly natural light as the background is almost all is landscapes. The different lights show the different times of day and also creates different moods. When the light is bright it makes people feel happy but when they light gets darker it creates a more calm mood. 

This research has helped me to begin to make decisions about my music video, magazine advert and digipak. This has made me think about how different lightings can crated different moods and I will consider this when filming my music video and doing my photoshoot.
