Discussing and Designing lighting

We decided to discuss the lighting that we wanted to have throughout our video so that we wouldn't have to waste time on shoot day deciding on our lighting choices. 

As a group we talked through how we wanted the lighting to be similar throughout in order to maintain a coherent video. Because the music video is based on the 'golden hour', we want to replicate this in our lighting by using orange/yellow flood lights that will also compliment our model's skin tone. 

After watching Mahalia's music video 'Simmer', this really inspired us to replicate her lighting in our own music video as the orange wash that is used in her video looks really effective the r&b style music video. 

We also discussed that it would be really effective if we replicated a sunset in our lighting by having the lights move from left to right to imply the 'golden hour'. During our sofa set, we want more brighter lighting so that the props in the scene will be more prominent. During the projections set we decided that although we still want orange toned lighting, we want it to be more dark and low-key so that the roman numeral projections are as obvious as possible.
