ANALYSIS OF LIGHTING IN DIFFERENT MUSIC VIDEOS

In this post I will be looking at 4 different music videos and the types of lighting that they use. The first video is panic at the discos 'death of a bachelor' the lighting in this video uses the spotlight effect, it is a black and white video so instead of the use of colour it uses the lights as the focal point for the video, throughout the whole video there is a spotlight on Brendon Urie to show his importance in the music video, in the background there are large stage lights flashing on him to show his lonesome stature.

The second video I will be looking at is my chemical romances 'famous last words' the lighting in this video is unique as it uses the mix of both natural and man made light, there is a large spotlight over the top of the band shining down on them but the main point of the lighting is dark background with the flames creating a darker affect, the flames symbolise my chemical romance because they are all about starting things that shouldn't happen and for them to have the flames in their siluette is iconic.

Then, the next video I will be looking at is panic at the discos piano video of 'this is gospel', I have chosen this video because it uses purely raw natural light, it is one of the only videos that uses this technique and it has payed off, it is hard to plan to use sunlight as the main light to your video because of how easily the weather can change so it must've been hard to judge the right day which makes it a risky source of light.
