colourful light experiments

Example:

Here in an example of what some of the lighting will look like in our music video.We decided to use blue and red as they both compliment each other , we maybe also use different colours.

We did an example to see if it would work , so we had a good idea how it would look in our music video. Overall we think that this worked well and will fit in with everything in our music video. Lighting is really important, therefore I will experiment a lot with this in my music video.

Actors

Main Actor: Alice

For my main character I dressed her in all black and greys, to represent power and strength, which is what my music video is based on. In the majority of my music clips I did a medium close up so that my actor looked like she was not wearing any clothes, however not in a sexual way but in a sensual way, to challenge the stereotypes, Normally in the media they focus on showing women in a sexual way focussing on their body but I wanted to represent my female in a sensual and powerful way. I put minimal makeup on my actor only mascara and highlighter to enhance her natural features. As well as this I also put highlighter on her chest, to give the effect of glowy and healthy skin. When filming I also used studio lights to enhance this further, as the light reflected off the skin. 

 

Dancers: Maddi and Meg

For dancers I again had them dressed in black to represent strength and power as black is a very bold colour. It is also plain so makes you focus more on the dance moves them self. The lack costumes also compliment the purple lighting too. I decided to use purple lighting as it added colour to the scene as well as adding a touch of feminine to the scene.  

My Role

Earlier this year I had the role of just filming, however due to the loss of my partner I am now taking on all 3 roles. Camera , Editing and sound, therefore I will create this music video by myself.

Music video

Editing

Editing 

Here shows a screen shotS of me editing my music video. To edit and alter my music video I am using Premiere pro soft ware, the same I used last year. The software can be slow at times however it is the best way to edit, as it gives you a variety of different affects that you can apply to your video. I aim to use these affects to my advantage and add them in to create a variety of different transformation.   

Inspiration

For the text of my magazine advert i got my inspiration from Dua Lipa's poster. I liked how the text was just an outline meaning you could still see the image, i wanted this on mine as the image shows off the glowy skin and i did not want the text to ruin this by only seeing some of it. I also liked the colour combination of the poster, so decided to use colour similar these being pink and grey.  

Here are a few screen shots of my image next to other artists work.

Here is a screen shot of my music advert nest to Katy Perry's although the colour and image are different i liked the layout, so got my inspiration from this. This really helped as my image was square and i was struggling how to lay it out along with all the information. 

  

Bill Douglas Museum

 

Bill Douglas Exhibition:

Back in November my class mates and I visited the Exeter University, where there was a Bill Douglas Museum. Whilst visiting the museum we learnt a lot of key and valuable things such as the history behind filming. Another valuable thing we got taught was about star image. Star image is key when it comes to creating something, everything needs a star to draw the audience in. A star image becomes a recognised sign that is used in many different media forms. Stars can use the fact that their image has a meaning behind it , therefore the image is often used for marketing purposes. Overall I found the trip very interesting and I found out some fascinating things

Here are a couple pictures from the exhibition.
