Lighting is the crucial element within our music video, as we want to incorporate fantasy with hypereality. Also by varying the light sources and objects we can produce inspired techniques and shots which will deliver an effective and exciting music video.
Location ideas:
Lights being the main concept of our music video we need to really consider locations which will intrigue the audience. We have expanded our location options ready to follow up, for further research and visits.
- London will be our most used location
as this is the music capital, it can represent dreams and possibilities. Through using the iconic buildings and the lighting around we can be very creative.

Most of the videos below show some creative shots including effective lighting, locations and editing techniques.

What caught our attention in this particular video was the use of flashlights to highlight the singers face in the dark and how the dancers used them in a line to enhance the movement.
When we came across this music video, what caught our eye was the multi-coloured fairy lights used and how it made the shot look more appealing. We also noticed that the use of a projection on the singer highlighted her and made the shot look more interesting.
The main thing which stood out to us both in this music video was the editing effects used, such as quick cuts and video montages - creating a nice faded effect of two or more different videos.
When looking at this video, we liked the use of bright lighting set behind the person, thus creating a silhoette and making the person stand out.
The use of a spot light on the music artist stood out to both of us, as it is effective for making the person stand out and appear more visible in the shot.
What inspired us both in this music video was the use of lights, projection and creativity to make the music video more visually appealing and interesting.
- UV LIGHTS..
