Lighting

I have researched lighting techniques to use in our music video. there are many techniques, some are below.

Three-point lighting is a standard method used in visual media such as video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery. By using three separate positions, the photographer can illuminate the shot's subject however desired, while also controlling the shading and shadows produced by direct lighting.

The key light, as the name suggests, shines directly upon the subject and serves as its illuminator; more than anything else, the strength, color and angle of the key determines the shot's overall lighting design.

In indoor shots, the key is commonly a specialized lamp, or a camera's flash. In outdoor daytime shots, the Sun often serves as the key light. In this case, of course, the photographer cannot set the light in the exact position he or she wants, so instead arranges it to best capture the sunlight, perhaps after waiting for the sun to position itself just right.

I bought a lamp which had a very bendy stem, becuase lighting is one of the keys to getting mise-en-scene' correct. We also used lighting from home made reflectors which were foil on wooden bords.

This light was just right for some shots and also enabled us to focus on the subject in the video.
