Lighting Research

In terms of lighting, my partner and I want to use colours like on this stage in the clip of Lauren (our dancer) performing the dance where she had previously choreographed it for. We think that the quick change when the chorus comes in to this bright pinkish purple light really works well with making the audience aware of the quick beat change and helps them feel the emotion in which we would want them to film. However, when it comes to our own lighting i think that i would rather a pinker/red light since this would connote love and passion which is what the song is about linking visuals and lyrics.

To add to that, also in the dance performance i think that a good idea would be to use a spot light on the dancer since this would show her isolated and lonely and once again relating to the lyrics of how she's gone 'crazy' due to the fact she is in love. I think that having her in a spot light would highlight her and her features as she is wearing black outfit and so will not be as visible in normal lighting but when she is lit up by the light she is out in the open to the audience and they can see her for what she is. The dance that Lauren has already made for this song is very powerful and so this kind of high key bright light contrasting with the black background works very well. 

Another idea we have is to time lapse a dark night street which has lights everywhere and is relatively busy so that is shows how the performer/actress in our video can be very alone in a busy place.
