Planning: Lighting


One of the locations in my video will be set in dark studio with a spot light on the young mans face. This clip is a mock film of what I intend on filming. I wanted to practise the shots I am actually going to take, and to use this clip as inspiration for the real footage. The editing in this video ranges from changing the colour of the footage to speeding up/ slowing down footage and reversing footage. The slow motions add a dramatic effect to the footage, allowing the audience to view what is happening in the video for longer. Slow motion usually connotes something emotional is happening on screen, and with a cool tinted light it implies a negative and sad scene, whereas a warm light portrays a happy setting.

"Pinpointing lighting directly on specific objects or people helps persuade the viewers to direct their eyes to the intended spot, which ensures that important aspects of the video are not missed.
Lighting can also be used to add colour and texture to otherwise bland environments and scenes. The proper use of lighting can even change the way people and objects appear in the scene; they can look innocent, evil, frightening, happy, beautiful, or even ugly."
