System of A Down - B.Y.O.B.

As I have not focused on lighting specifically while looking at music videos, I thought it would be a good idea to, as lighting is important to set the mood of the video and make it more visually interesting. As our song has some electro I want to include a variety of coloured lighting in my music video. We now have new lighting which gives us the opportunity to have lots of different colours instead of just relying on colour grading. After looking at this particular video by System of a Down it looks similar to the lighting we have and is it achievable lighting to create.

This red lighting that covers the band through most of the video is something we could easily do and it looks really good. The red would also match with our track and narrative. Do make this lighting we could use the red filter and attach it to the camera while we are filming.

The video also includes flashing orange/yellow lighting which would also look good in our video, and also flashing red/grey lighting, we could turn the lighting on/off rapidly to create this effect.

This flashing orange/yellow lighting occurs a lot, and we can accomplish this easily as it is close up to the artists face, however our colours would be darker and less vibrant like our track, and to suit the electro theme, the colours I will probably choose are blue, green, red, and normal flashing.
