7. Things to Consider

Lighting

• Only using lighting from behind can create silhouettes

• Coloured lighting

• Bisexual lighting (pink purple and blue)

• Filming at golden hour or blue hour creates dramatic lighting

• Natural lighting on an overcast day can help prevent over exposure

• When you use the correct lighting you can make your videos look a lot more professional

Costume

• Can be used for contrast or to make someone standout

• Makeup can be used to change body or facial features

• You could also use body paint to make things pop or stand out

• Costumes and makeup can help make your video look more professional

• Fade To Grey by Visage is a good example of costumes and makeup/body paint

Black and White vs. Colour

• Black and White

• Can use if the video is too bright and can't be fixed

• Can also be intentional and you can pin costumes and the setting around it

• Selective Colour

• When only one or a few colours are shown but the rest is in black and white

• Colour

• Can go all out with colours and make everything bright

• Use a filter or specific lighting to keep the overall colour of the video similar

• Have a reoccurring colour 

• Have a certain type of colour through the whole video (eg. neon, pastel)

• In-between days uses black and white with blue tones and uses selective colour for specific sections such as backdrops and overlaying footage
