Cinematography

Key light:

  • Most important in lighting setup 
  • Highlight form and dimension of the subject
  • Omitting key light can result in a silhouette effect
  • Key lights may be placed in a scene to illuminate a moving subject at opportune moments

Fill light:
  • May be used to reduce contrast of a scene to match dynamic range of recording media
  • Using less fill will make shadows seem lighter/darker than normal causing the viewer to react differently by inferring envorinomental and mood clues from the tones of the shadows
  • The positioning of the fill affects the overall appearance of the lighting pattern 

Hair light:
  • Works especially well in portrait photography 
  • Lights up the hair, often angled down 3 feet above the head
  • Add interest and texture to an image

Statement of intent

Statement Of Intent My overall goal for this project is to produce a dance music video and linked website in order to promote my artist. I aim to follow the typical dance music conventions in order to suit my chosen video style and appeal to my target audience (individuals around the 16-25 age range). Whilst planning and elaborating on certain ideas for my video, I analysed and reviewed a variety of popular and successful music videos in order to identify what works well and appeals to an audience. I noticed a common re occurrence of features throughout the different videos which I will include, for instance, a summer/ beach theme often crops up where the individuals and models featured are dressed in bikinis and bright, vibrant summer clothes. In addition, another convention which links with media representation is the actual construction of the video itself (for example fast paced editing  and certain slow motion shots), it is stereotypical to edit the video in this partic...
