Music video treatment (2)
Here are some key points about lighting we will use:
- Natural lighting outside for most scenes to keep it realistic
- Bright portable torches when needed for additional lighting outside
- Studio lights in black background chorus scene for artistic effect
- Mix of practical lights e.g. street lamps, car headlights in night scenes
- Back lighting, side lighting, top lighting to get dramatic effects
- Colour gels like red to convey emotions like passion in key scenes
- Hard lighting for close ups, softer for establishing shots
Being flexible with lighting is important as we can't always control outdoor
conditions. Mixing practical and portable lights helps achieve our vision.

- 1. Name of Track: Ms Jackson Artist: Outkast Year: 2000
- 2. Observations: Alternative Hip-Hop Close up of Artist Expensive Cars Jewellery Baggy clothing Examples: Close up of Artists Animals (Cats, Dogs & Owls) Pots and pans Ladders
- 3. Observation: usually in hip hop music lyrics it would mostly be about materialistic things and what they have, as well as swear words with excessive aggression. Example: This music video is very unusual for a Hip Hop music video. It has a strong meaning which is emphasised in the video. ‘’ My baby's drama mama, don't like me She be doing things like having them boys come from her neighbourhood to the studio trying to fight me’’ shows his despair at the situation he is currently In it is shown in the video.
- 4. Observation: Usually in Hip-Hop music videos you’ll find expensive cars and jewellery with half naked women dancing around like silly individuals. You would also find the artists in baggy clothing or something that sags to represent their group and music genre. Example: The music fits the video very well and is extremely unique, hence why I decided to choose this song.
- 5. The mis-en-scene suggests that the men in the video are poor and really unlucky. They both seem to be wearing very cheap and low quality clothing, one man is not even wearing a shirt whilst its raining which could suggest he cant afford to. The other man wearing the rain jacket looks as if he has the important role and responsibility between both of them. The lighting has a great effect on the video, for example; the thunder from the rain.
- 6. The music video uses narrative structure a lot throughout the video and this goes very well with the lyrics because its more than just a music video, it can also be seen as a message to ‘Ms. Jackson’
