Camera, Lighting and Effects Plan – Music Video: Villa Savoye – Weightless

CameraWe will try to position the camera so that it does not cast a shadow into the set. To do this we may have to change the set so that we can still use the desired part of the set.The cameras will be placed on tripods to film the performance and will be also used handheld to get some close up of the performance. This can also be done on tripods but it will be useful to get a choice of different shot types so the audience does not get board with the video.

LightingAs the house location is well lit, as there are large open windows that let in natural light. We will be using this light to create a more natural look for the video. This light will represent the weightlessness of his problems.If the natural light is low (raining etc.) Then we will use artificial light from the house or use portable lights to create the illusion of natural light.For the lighting to be at its best we might have to move some of the furniture in the location but only if it obstructs the shot.If we do use portable lamps we will place the camera behind them so to not cast a shadow onto the shot.

EffectsNo on site effects will be used E.g. Pyrotechnics. All effects will be added in post-production. E.g. colour correction, Lens Flare etc.
