Lighting may be an issue for us considering we are shooting in a forest so we will be relying on natural light for all of our shots. This is something that we will find challenging when coming to shoot, keeping the same light and colour to make it flow and look like it was all shot on the same day at the same time. Because of this, we thought that if we shot early in the morning, we would get the hues of the rising sun on our videos. Another thing that we have to worry about is the weather. This will effect us if its all cloudy because the lighting will be darker and as a whole effect will make our video seem very negative and bland. Although in our orginal ideas we wanted bright suns and bright lightings, we thought that knowing our luck we will be stuck with horrible weather and really dark lighting. We thought that this caught work in our favour because its almost like the rain is washing away all the bad stuff and almost purifying her. So either drastic rainy weather or bright sunny weather and we will be fine!
Another thing that we thought we could use if it gets too dark is to use the light box that was provided with the camera to use as extra lighting if we're filming under the heartwood tree and we need that extra little bit we can use it. It is also helpful that this light has filters available to use such as a pink; for a warm feel and yellow; for a bright sunny feel. I think that when coming to close-ups we will find it really useful to use this extra light.
When sketching out our ideas, it was very clear that we wanted sun spots somewhere in our music video to create a natural, 'sun bursting through the trees, natural beauty' look. We thought this would help echo Amandas personality and also the personality of the song. Obviously on the day if its bad weather we won't be able to get this effect, but hopefully if we leave early in the morning, we can catch that first sunrise effect.
Colour
For the colour which was already discussed in the costume research, we were hoping for a pale palette for the costume to connote purity and innocence and being at one with nature.
For the colouring of the video we wanted bright colours because the song brought to mind lots of bright colours. Along with this, because the song is quite pop and fast paced we saw lots of different colours so we decided to replicate this for the video and have a bright colour palette. This will also reflect on the mood that we have to our piece of music and the overall "nature is the centre of everything" ideas. We feel that by having this kind of colour in our music video that we can convey not just a music video, but a postive message out to people who watch it because that was the whole idea we wanted
