The document discusses the use of lighting in music videos for three songs: Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance", Rihanna's "This Is What You Came For", and Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools". For "Bad Romance", lighting is used to enhance Lady Gaga's creature-like character and show her darker side. In "This Is What You Came For", lighting goes dark during choruses and is used with strobes to intensify drops in the song. For "Swimming Pools", changing lighting from black to white and using darker tones represents the dark themes of alcoholism and drinking portrayed in the lyrics.

Ski resorts, tourist and sporting innovations for mountain economies since the 1930s, have needed cartographic representations corresponding to new practices of the space.Painter artists have been involved in producing ski maps with painting techniques and panoramic views, which are by far the most common type of map, because they allow the resorts to look impressive to potential visitors. These techniques have evolved throughout the mutations of the ski resorts. Paper ski maps no longer meet the needs of a large part of the customers; the question now arises of their adaptation to digital media. In a computerized process perspective, the early stage of the project aims to identify the artist-representations, based on conceptual and technical rules, which are handled by users-skiers to perform a task (location, wayfinding, decision-making) and can be transferred to a computer system.
Relief inversion effect in terrain representations: Where should we place the...
This document summarizes research presented by Julien Biland and Dr. Arzu Coltekin at the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2015 on the impact of light direction on the perception of terrain in maps. They analyzed how the positioning of the light source affects shape perception and can lead to misinterpretations of ridges as valleys and vice versa. Through examples from different satellite images, they show how land cover information and geographic knowledge can help overcome initial perceptions that are incorrect due to the lighting. They emphasize that light direction strongly influences shape perception and their poster presents findings on which direction works best.

3) The PMC has recently relocated offices to co-locate project teams and improve collaboration between areas as projects transition to construction.
Color and textures interpolation for homogeneous sliding between orthoimagery...
Graphic interfaces of geoportals allow visualizing, sometimes overlaying often by image blending, various data and representations of geographical spaces: vector data, maps, aerial imagery, Digital Terrain Model (DTM), etc. After some previous works it appears that image blending is insufficient to allow efficient co-visualization of orthoimagery and vector data. Our purpose is to be able to manage an hybrid visualization of orthoimagery and vector data, efficient and useful. The diversity of hybridization levels requires to be able to control a continuum between such data. We thus have to propose rendering methods to mix heterogeneous data, in order to propose homogeneous and continuous intermediary representations. This paper proposes a methodology to interpolate graphic parameters between an orthoimage and related vector data, to control the level of orthophotorealism, all along the continuum. We detail the methodology based on several interpolation components, to control abstraction and realism levels, by manipulating colors and textures (natural, procedural or mixed).
General music video analysis
This music video analysis summarizes David Guetta's "Titanium" featuring Sia. It can be categorized as a narrative music video based on Frith's theory, as it tells the story of a boy with supernatural powers running away. The relationship between music and visuals intensifies during the drop in the song when the boy uses his powers. There are also reaction shots of people amazed by the boy's abilities. The settings and costumes are used to portray the boy as an ordinary child, while also showing the escalating danger and authorities trying to stop him, culminating in a dramatic final showdown between the boy and soldiers in the woods.
Camera shots
This document discusses camera techniques used in three music videos to create certain effects:
1) In Sia's "Big Girls Cry", a long take brings focus to the main subject, and spinning the camera gives a sense of confusion. Stationary shots of a hanging also seem realistic.
2) In Naughty Boy's "La La La", tracking and panning cameras follow characters to strengthen a sense of long distance travel, as do long shots that make characters seem tiny.
3) In Prodigy's "Firestarter", short takes and fast camera movement fit the fast tempo, while tilting and changing tracking direction enhance chaos.
The document also notes how understanding these techniques can inform one
Andrew goodwin
This document outlines Andrew Goodwin's 6 key features of music videos: 1) Genre characteristics, 2) Relationship between lyrics and visuals, 3) Relationship between music and visuals, 4) Close ups of artists, 5) References to looking/voyeurism, and 6) Intertextuality. Examples are provided for each feature, such as a metal band video exemplifying genre characteristics through clothing, instruments and setting. The document aims to identify common conventions in music videos that can help in their production.
Music and lyrics
This document discusses how the music videos for two songs directly match their lyrics through visuals. For Lily Allen's "LDN", shots in the video directly depict what she describes at different points in the lyrics, using transitions and editing to contrast innocent and darker meanings. For Tenacious D's "Tribute", shots also directly illustrate the narrative lyrics, helping dramatize the story of a rock-off with a demon through visual cues like lighting. By precisely matching lyrics and visuals, both videos strengthen the artists' messages and engage audiences through a film version of the song.
Frith (1998) types of music videos
Frith identified three main types of music videos: performance videos feature the artist singing to the camera as if in a live performance; narrative videos tell a story that relates to the song's lyrics, like a short film; conceptual videos take a more artistic approach through graphics, effects, or unique visual concepts without a narrative. This research will help the document's author identify different video styles to reference for their own music video production.
Lighting in music videos
The document analyzes the use of lighting in the music videos for "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga, "This Is What You Came For" by Rihanna, and "Swimming Pools" by Kendrick Lamar. It discusses how the lighting is used to represent the themes and moods of the songs, often changing dramatically between light and dark or different colors to emphasize parts of the music. Specific examples are given of how lighting highlights characters or intensifies drops and choruses in the songs. The document concludes that lighting choice is important for achieving certain artistic effects and relating to the genre and subject matter of the pieces.
The male gaze
This document discusses the concept of the "male gaze" as coined by Laura Mulvey in 1975. The male gaze refers to the perspective through which audiences have to view characters in films, which is usually that of a heterosexual male given that films typically have male directors and camera operators. Key aspects of the male gaze include the camera lingering on female curves and women being presented through how men react to them, effectively making women objects. While the male gaze theory has faced some criticisms, examples like Miley Cyrus' music video for "Wrecking Ball" clearly exemplify the use of the sexualized female body to attract the male gaze.

Lighting in music videos
The document summarizes the lighting techniques used in two music videos. In the Calvin Harris video, bright outdoor lighting is contrasted with softer indoor lighting to frame Rhianna inside a glowing cube. The lighting matches the tempo of the music as it speeds up. In the Lady Gaga video, harsh artificial light introduces the artist and dancers before shifting to softer light mimicking a sunrise; darker lighting is used to foreshadow negative events while brighter lighting follows.
Music case study #2
This song tells the story of Kendrick Lamar reminiscing about his childhood witnessing excessive alcohol consumption in his community. The music video begins with opening credits and builds tension without sound. It shows Lamar falling in slow motion. The video cuts between scenes of Lamar rapping in run-down locations from his past and montages that visualize the lyrics. It depicts the negative influence of an intoxicated lifestyle but also Lamar's resistance to fully indulge. The video uses symbolic imagery and scene changes to represent the themes of temptation and escaping the cycle seen in his childhood.
Birdy skinny love indie folk analysis
This document analyzes the music video for "Skinny Love" by Birdy. It summarizes the various shots and how they set the mood through lighting, camera angles, and imagery. Close-up shots of the artist singing are intercut with shots of her walking through an old house like a shadow, fitting with the folk genre's use of imagery over direct narrative. Effects like slow motion are also used conventionally in indie/folk music videos to portray objects and scenes that contradict the lyrics. The ending fades the piano and transitions to black with the camera on the left rather than the right, seeming to reverse the story.
Man down (1)
Rihanna's "Man Down" music video tells a story through flashbacks of events leading up to her shooting a man. The video begins with Rihanna shooting a man at a train station then flashing back to show her enjoying time with friends and family in Jamaica. At a club, she dances with a man who later assaults her in an alley. The final scene shows Rihanna at home with a gun, distraught over the assault. Stylistic elements like lighting, costumes, and camera angles are used to contrast Rihanna's happiness before the assault with her darkness and desire for revenge after.
Music update
The document discusses music choices for a production. It received two song options - "Spark" by Maxwell Young and "Grape Choice" by Tajima hal. Although "Spark" was the first song approved, the committee feels it is too relaxed compared to their preferred song "Glendale La Roma", which has a jumpy bass that would provide more impact. "Tajima hal" has the right qualities but also lacks the jumpy quality of "Glendale La Roma" that they feel is necessary for their production.
You make me avicii music video analysis
The document provides an analysis of shots in Lana Del Rey's music video for "Summertime Sadness" in 5 paragraphs. It describes how the dull, old-fashioned colors establish a creepy, eerie atmosphere and sense of olden times. The blurred, flickering quality relates to the song's theme of summertime sadness. A long shot shows another woman about to jump off a bridge, implying a relationship that ended in suicide and adding to the video's sadness. The final shot portraits Lana against a black background, with contrasting white and black colors creating a creepy ending.
Music videos kings of leon
The American rock band Kings of Leon rose to international success in 2008 with their album Only by the Night, which included the hit singles "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody." The music video for "Sex on Fire" uses quick cuts and subtle imagery to depict the lead singer Caleb's forbidden affair. The video features intimate shots of Caleb and other band members that match the longing and secrecy expressed in the song's lyrics. Through its artistic editing and lighting, the video helps tell the story and set the mood of the passionate but illicit romance described in the song.
Music Videos
The video has no strong narrative like the other two analyzed videos. It focuses more on emotion and Beyonce's image and representation. Scenes show her alone or with her love interest in soft lighting to portray purity and power. Her clothing, gentle dancing, and intimacy with her partner are meant to portray her as a strong yet controlled woman, appealing to other women and girls. Camera work and lighting emphasize her "halo" and angelic appearance to promote the song's theme and her iconic image.
Music video analysis too close
The music video for "Too Close" by Alex Claire features both a live performance and an action sequence of two characters dueling. The video cuts between the soulful performance sections and the electronic chorus, where the editing focuses more on the fight. The fight scenes are shot in dim lighting to convey danger and blocked emotions. Fast editing contrasts with the music and action. One fighter wears a red rope for personality compared to the other in all black. The artist is dressed in light colors to symbolize his control over the situation as he sings about a failing relationship that leads to a fight in a broken environment.
Textual analysis of music videos (1)
The music video for Rihanna's song "Take a Bow" tells the story of a breakup through its narrative-based visuals. Rihanna is portrayed as the protagonist who leaves her boyfriend for his infidelity. Symbolism like Rihanna's black clothing at the start and later red outfit reflect the dark and emotional themes of the song lyrics. Rihanna maintains an image of control and power throughout the video as she ends the relationship.
Research of Music Videos
This document provides an analysis of several music videos and concert lighting designs. It examines the visual elements, techniques, and themes used in videos by artists like Paramore, Pendulum, Knife Party, and others. Key points analyzed include the use of lighting, camera angles, settings, graphics, and how visuals connect to the lyrics and style of the music. The document also discusses how bands develop distinct visual identities and continue their "brand" across multiple videos and live performances.
Rihanna presentation
- Rihanna rose to fame in 2005 with her debut single "Pon de Replay" and transitioned to a "good girl gone bad" image with her 2007 album featuring the hit single "Umbrella".
- "Umbrella" was a major commercial success worldwide and received critical acclaim, helping cement Rihanna as a successful solo artist in genres like R&B and hip hop.
- Through elements like editing, camera work, mise-en-scene, and performance, the music video for "Umbrella" portrayed Rihanna as a powerful, independent woman and helped broaden her appeal to different audiences.
Paloma
This music video for Paloma Faith's song "Stone Cold Sober" is directed by Sophie Muller in 2009. It follows the indie pop/jazz genre through its colorful, bright visuals that cut along with the beat of the song. The video focuses on Paloma Faith's star image of orange hair, red lipstick, and unique voice. It features her in different scenes and costumes, switching between color and black and white, with scenes including a party, a run down corridor, and her dancing energetically at a party while being the center of attention.
Media pre production a2 course work
This document contains an analysis of music videos and album covers, as well as a treatment for a proposed music video. The analysis covers elements like mise-en-scene, editing, camerawork, and narrative. The treatment outlines a concept for a music video for The Prodigy's "Take Me to the Hospital" involving an escalating fight and a dream sequence. Research was also done on digipak design conventions.
Digipak and adverts analysis
The document summarizes and analyzes the packaging and artwork for albums by Lana Del Rey and Rihanna. For Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence" album: the front cover features a black and white photo of her against a dark background to convey dark themes; inside photos show her smoking flowers to depict escapism. For Rihanna's "Loud" album: the covers focus on close-up photos of her to portray stardom and passion through use of her image and the color red. The document also contrasts adverts for After Midnight which depict togetherness, versus Rihanna's individual "Loud" image emphasizing glamour.
Music video treatment
The proposed music video for Foo Fighters' "All My Life" would have a dark, oppressive atmosphere conveyed through black lights and harsh lighting. Scenes would show a singer in a black room, someone walking alone at night, and the band playing in a dark room lit by a single floodlight. Throughout the video, the speed of actions and people would vary from slow to fast motion. Toward the end, the singer from the intro would appear in more scenes, and the video would culminate with the guitarist jumping in slow motion lit by a floodlight.
21 Guns - Greenday Video Analysis
The camerawork in the "21 Guns" music video by Green Day is symbolic of the song's style and mood. Close-ups show the singer's blank expressions while establishing shots show the full band playing together. During the climax, handheld shots emphasize the chaos with unstable angles. Panning shots revolve around the singer to portray his authority. Fast editing matches the music's pace, cutting quickly during destruction. Shots link the singer and lyrics. The mise-en-scene creates a dark, messy setting through costumes, lighting, and props that fit the indie/rock genre and theme of suppression.
Task 1 Microanalysis for Goodwins
The document provides analysis of several music videos through examining their locations, lighting, costumes, character movements, editing and cinematography. It summarizes the key elements in Hayley Kiyoko's "Girls Like Girls" music video as being set in a desert house with natural lighting depicting a summer romance, and examines the symbolism of costumes and movements. It also analyzes the locations, decor, costumes and editing in Melanie Martinez's "Pity Party" music video and their role in depicting the narrative of a childish character's emotional breakdown.
Question 1

Lighting in music videos
- 1. LIGHTING IN MUSIC VIDEOS LADY GAGA – BAD ROMANCE RIHANNA – THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR KENDRICK LAMAR – SWIMMING POOLS
- 2. BAD ROMANCE The first shot has extremely bright lighting and reveals Gaga as queen-like surrounded by people. This quickly changes when the music kicks in and the lighting goes to really dark in a new setting revealing her as a creature-like being coming out a coffin. The effect of the drastic change in lighting help strengthen the creature-like character that she is trying to create. Costume and lighting combined together help show when she is a darker person. Another example of this, as you can see when she is covered in diamonds with women surrounding her, she is in extremely bright white lighting, but the next shot shows her slightly disformed in a much darker lighting, again showing the combination of costume and lighting to strengthen the effect.
- 3. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR This is the first example of significant lighting change in the video. Rihanna begins to sing and when the main chorus comes on the lighting suddenly goes really dark. This synchronisation of sound and lighting works well to kick start the song. As you can see in the images on the right Rihanna is surrounded by dark lighting but her face is lit up, putting the spotlight on her draws the audience to her face. The lighting goes dark and the lights start appearing in synchronisation with the beat and when the drop kicks in the walls fall down and Rhianna appears in a club with the strobe light crazily shining everywhere, to intensify the drop of the song.
- 4. SWIMMING POOL The song is about alcoholism. The first shot shows Lamar falling in total darkness. I interpreted this as him falling down because of alcoholism, the dark lighting helps show that he is in a ‘dark place’ because of alcohol. The next shot drastically changes in lighting going from black to white. This switch in colour helps kick start the song as the shot changes from black to white. When Lamar begins to rap the lighting gets darker as he raps in an old abandoned room. It appears that the lyrics are quite dark with lighting helping represent it. When Lamar changes from to rap to singing suddenly the background is pitch black as he sings and the girl in the second shot in bright white lighting is shown in pitch black lighting. This darker lighting helps represent Lamar talking about drinking a lot and making it sound fun. When the main chorus comes on the lighting goes to a darkish red with setting being in a club. The red lighting could possibly represent how the attraction of having fun and going out is dark and evil because it causes you to drink yourself to a state, especially for alcoholics.
