Inspiration 3: Lighting

Inspiration 3: Lighting

Peace - World Pleasure (2014)



As the song we intend to video is called  "Lights Go Down" we thought about playing around with lighting throughout the video to get some really interesting effects. For this we explored different videos to get a feel for whats already been done. 


We first looked at World Pleasure by Peace which had some really beautiful examples of coloured lighting at the end. These pastel colours create a dream-like effect, it has been colour corrected and the purple has been exaggerated.
It also looks like this is a post filming filter, meaning that the colours have been altered and played with after the filming has been done. It changes the mood of the piece, if we were to apply the commutation test and switch the colours to deep reds and greens it would create a more sombre mood to the song. 



Years & Years - Desire (2014)


This video uses coloured lighting in a totally different way, throughout the video the lighting is quite dark which already gives it a more subdued feel to it. Once the coloured lighting kicks in it becomes more sultry, especially with the women that are in shot.


Their lighting partially post filming as the colours have been enhanced and played around with but it also seems to have been used while filming. You can see this as in the shot below there are lights within the room.
