Poor lighting will drastically change the feel of the music video and drop the quality of it almost immediately. This causes a lot of problems when filming; I need to be able to control this so that the footage doesn't look too exposed or have distorted colouring due to the lights. To stop this from happening I will be either using natural light outside, but with extra help to make sure that the actors faces are well lit and while inside I will use bright light to make sure, once again, that everything is well lit, as bad lighting can end up with results like this:
Furthermore, I can control the level of lighting and keep it constant to ensure that the footage looks the same and that there is no sudden changes to the levels of contrast. In addition, I can adjust the lighting so that I am able to test out colour effects e.g. blue, red or green. However, I will be making the 1940 part of my music video in black and white, so i must assure that the lighting is right for this, which is something I will be testing.
