OH- Lighting analysis



Since my technical analysis of "Many of Horror" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAh--lH0H3U&ob=av3e i have been inspired to use a spotlight in our video and think that it would be very effective in our performance piece, these were my ideas.


I have found that a spotlight can be very effective in performance videos, having a bright light in shot then as a pan left or something like that, and it gets blocked out by a head, then comes back into shot, like in the video many of horror, creates a good amount of shadow on the face, and adds emotion to the performance.

How it could add to our video...
Bright lights used in silhouette shots are also very effective in this video, creating a man with a guitar silhouette is very efective, for example during a guitar solo.

How do other appropriate genres connote emotion with lighting?
i also think quite a few heavier/ emo videos use lighting to connote depression and sadness. this could be very effective since we are trying to connote emotions. for example between angles and insects, in the opening there is a green wash on the music video, this with a good use of shadow conotes darkness, which could be effective in our video.
