Influences for the Nightmare scene

Influences for the Nightmare scene

In our nightmare scene will be filming in a studio with the use of different coloured lights to create different atmospheres and symbolize different aspects of Alisha’s personality and themes of the film. Other videos that use lighting in an abstract way (although not the same genre) can be seen in Beyoncé’s 1+1 music video. We have taken stylistic influences from this video, and will hope to mirror similar images created with the use of layers and lighting. This will give our work a similar abstract feel that it gives to the music video.

In the video lighting plays a major role as it brings symbolic elements to the video. The use of low lighting presents Beyoncé as vulnerable; this is the same technique we will use with Alisha to show her insecurities and shyness. In the video there are many layers added together to create a dream like style, this is a technique we will be using as it will also give our work a dreamlike feel, ensuring the audience realizes the scene is a nightmare. In 1+1 the colour of the lights also represents different things about Beyoncé just like they will do to Alisha in our nightmare scene.

below are some images taken from Beyoncé’s 1+1 music video.
