Lighting-Colour

Lighting plays a big part in indie pop music videos as it can create shadows, blocking out the background and or hiding certain parts of the artists face to create a more edgy and mysterious vibe.
The colours usually in indie pop music videos are dark pastel colours such as brown and other earthy tones.
An example is twenty one pilots- heathens. The lighting is mainly low key but some are high key to create strong shadows. Using low key lighting reflects on the mood and atmosphere of the video, as it is set in a prison we automatically sense the mood and would seem a bit odd using high key lighting and bright colours in a prison space.
