Lighting and colour is vital for our chosen music genre as it represents emotions more evidently and control the mood of the entire song. The brighter the lighting the more happier the theme of the song is whereas darkness can connote sadness, evil or danger.
Due to our genre we wanted to stick with natural lighting, making it easier for the audience to connect to the artist as they will not feel as though the video is unrealistic or unconvincing. Experiences through the artists life is sometimes shown as a journey so the more realistic we as a group can make the video by using natural lighting, the more the audience will feel as though they are taking the journey with the artist. A location we have chosen to use in our music video is London due to bustling city life and also the quiet and natural parks, Hyde Park. Using natural lighting for these shots will be ideal as at this time of year the sky is dull and gloomy possibly connoting the mood we may try and put across to the viewers. This can be linked to an emotion or worry of the unknown future or an adventure unknowing what the future beholds for the artist.
Grey tint is something to be considered to use in our music video as it is an easy way for the audience to see that its representing the past or a flashback from a previous time when he was with his love interest. However usually flashbacks are can be for a positive or negative period in their life. A grey tint can also show the audience that the artist is full of uncertainty about a decision to be made or they are having a hard time.
Sepia is largely similar to the grey tint however can be seen as a more positive flashback rather than negative showing a good time in their life of what they are looking back to as the brown of sepia isn't as dull as the grey tint. This colour also can make the relationship of the audience and artist more intimate as they understand the feelings and emotions the artist is feeling at the time and also of past as they are shown flashbacks helping them to understand the artists situation or problem they are facing. Sepia isn't used as much as a grey tint or not using a tint at all as it is not conventional of an alternative music video to have this effect, although as a group we may use it to help us portray the emotions we want to put forward to the audience.
You have made a start in explaning the lighting styles that you would like to include within your music video.
