For example, as in our questionnaire, we found that people associate the colour blue with sadness, guilt, night time etc.. Therefore, we decided to light and colour grade many of the shots with a blue/green tint, in order to connote this to the audience.
We also decided to have Ben wearing a blue tie when he lip syncs. The idea to have him wear a tie was originally a solution to a problem where his body could not be seen at all as he was wearing a black shirt against a black background. We did this to avoid having Ben looking like a floating head which would have been very distracting throughout the music video and may not have made much sense from a narrative stand point.
We decided to light Ben's face during the lipsyncing section the way we did because we wanted to connote the difference between the carefree version of himself before the incident (light side of the face) and the guilty side (the dark side).
When we filmed the shot where Ben walks back into his house after driving home in the evening, it was too dark to actually see what we were recording with out raising the IOS on the camera extremely high causing unwanted noise in the picture. Therefore, we decided to light the scene with two 1000w soft boxes with the diffusion panels removed for maximum light and one 300 LED panel which we used to help us light the car and act like a street light. We created this effect by putting the LED panel on a 3meter boom pole to get the needed height and we added a tungsten coloured jell in order to make the effect realistic.
