Lighting and Set Design

After looking at some music videos we found that Aluna George's Just A Touch and Telana Gemini had that sort of lighting we would like to recreate in our video, so during our technical demonstration we tried to replicate some of this.

In the school studio, we used the Leap Frog lighting desk to play around with a variety of lighting settings, and captured footage of how they would come up on the camera on the Canon Video recorder. 

Above are some images of us testing the lighting; back-lighting and flooding in a variety of colours/colour combinations. In the end we decided against coloured lighting because we couldn't achieve the infinity effect that we wanted to due to lack of light intensity. The black and white scenes looked really good and so we made them our backdrops. Since Josh and I are different skin colours it took a while to find lighting that complimented us without making Josh look too washed our me too dark, however eventually we got there.

Below is a video of us testing out some of the lighting:
