The document discusses the lighting techniques used in two music videos. In the first video, bright lights were used inside a house to make the singer stand out against her surroundings. Outside scenes also used lighting to match the brightness inside. In the second video, a character's silhouette is created by filming in front of a bright background without lighting on her. Scenes outdoors use natural light, while indoor scenes likely use artificial lighting to illuminate the characters without shadows. Throughout both videos, the lighting remains consistent to give the videos a cohesive look.

1. MUSIC VIDEO 1 On the left is a very bright scene,
making the singer stand out as
she is darker than her
surroundings. This effectively
makes her the main focus; it is
likely that the lighting in this
scene was created with bright
lights positioned the other side of
the window, making it appear
natural light while more would
have faced the singer to prevent
shadows over her front.
This next clip is also from in side
the house and clearly shows there
are lights on the left of the stairs,
to make the staircase (probably a
naturally dark area) brighter. The
position of the lights is shown
from the shadow of the singer on
the wall but once again does not
appear artificial and just creates a
summery, happy setting to
contrast with her attitude after
waking up.
On the left, the same video shows
the signer outside, cycling along.
However, the lighting is clearly
the same brightness as inside the
house, suggesting the director
planned this to keep the lighting
throughout the video consistent.
There may have been additional
lights in this scene too, to avoid
shadows on her face but it is
likely the lighting inside was
planned to match this natural
light.

2. MUSIC VIDEO 2
At the start of the music video,
the character appears quite
mysterious as we can only see
her silhouette; this would have
been created by filming her in
front of a brighter background
without light any light facing her
from the where the camera is
positioned.
A few scenes within this music
video show the characters
outdoors. As with the previous
music video, I believe natural
light was used in these scenes as
it is a light environment anyway.
However, lighting may have been
used to prevent any shadows but
if so would have been fairly dull
to meet the cloudy, dull
appearance of the setting they
are in and to avoid it looking
unrealistic.
This clip shows the two characters
indoors. The lighting in the
bathroom is probably naturally dark
as no windows can be so and so it
likely artificial lighting was used to
make both characters easy to see
without shadows being over them.
As with the previous video, the
lighting both inside and outside has
been carefully controlled to look
similar and keep it consistent
throughout the video.
