Black and White Colouration and Stage Lighting Effects in Indie Music Videos
1. Black and White Colouration
We used black and white to separate the narrative shots from the performance
shots. It also gave the video a tradition, vintage, old fashioned look which fits in
with conventions of the indie genre.
2. Stage Lighting Effect
We used this effect not only to separate the performance shots from the
narrative, but to also give the effect of stage lighting. We added blue and
orange colouration with transparency in order to create this effect.
3. Slide Cuts
This is an example of a slide cute which we used. These seemed to follow the
footsteps of the characters and also helped the videos fluency.
4. Zoom Cut
We used a zoom cut to focus the audience in on the high top shoe as it
links in with the shoe theme running throughout the lyrics and song
meaning.
6. Multi Shot
Again, we wished to make the shoe theme significant sure to the songs
title and meaning so we used editing effects such as this multi-shot to
give this effect.
