My initial idea for our music video is that it will follow two characters. There will be two different locations and their circumstances will be completely different, apart from the fact that the two scenes are happening at the same time.
The first character (first mood board) will be inside, in a dark environment with little or no natural light. These scenes would use a cooler colour scheme and would be darker. This character would be breaking down, and in a bad mental state. Additional shots to create the right mood could be of significant objects, ripples in water, extreme close-ups of the character's body etc. If we were to film inside we would need to carefully consider which type of lighting to use to create a clear result which retains a look of 'darkness'.
One character (second mood board) will be outside in the daylight; enjoying themselves, smiling, relaxing and having fun etc. The lighting will be natural, although we may require additional lighting depending on the weather! There may be additional shots to create the atmosphere, for example shots of the sky, of flowers, close-ups of the character's facial expression.
The idea seems credible and the contrast between the two situations could make for some striking visuals.
ReplyDeleteYou are aware of the potential problems with lighting and weather, the next step might be to test this and find a solution. Q. How might you effect the sombre tone of the interior through use of light? How can you control natural lighting in an interior setting for effect? How can you use exposure and focus?
