Set and Lighting Design


The video will start with the painist/singer in a spotlight and the rest of the band standing in their places in the dark. This is because there is only piano and singing for the first few seconds so the other band members will not be having to play anything. There will also be smoke along with the spot light to give it that mysterious feel.



After the drop, bright lights will come on all of the band to reveal their faces and they will all perform for a while. Throughout the video, the lights will slowly dim so they become of a similar low light to the narrative in which we are having a 'chiaroscuro' lighting.


chiaroscuro lighting in art is characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. We will use it to indicate extreme low-key lighting to create distinct areas of light and darkness in the video. This will give an almost black-and-white feel and we may even use a bit of black and white in there when doing after effects. This is an example of chiaroscuro lighting:



We are going to have an almost empty apartment to show that it is quite a sketchy acitivity what they are doing. We will have the simple objects such as a table on which there will be all the supplies used for the different activities, a sofa and some stairs. however, due to our use of chiaroscuro lighting most of these elements within the room will be in the dark.
