Lighting for Music Videos

Lighting for Music Videos

This lighting class was created for beginner to intermediate filmmakers looking to improve their cinematography skills.

In this class, I'll walk you through each shot of two music videos - Jessica Lynn's "Run To" which began airing on Country Music Television, Music Choice, and Vevo in June of 2020, and Jessica Lynn's "It's Just Not Christmas" which aired on CMT during the holiday season 2020.

Watch "Run To" and "It's Just Not Christmas" on Youtube by searching for Jessica Lynn.

The goal of this class is to broaden your understanding of cinematography and everything that goes into making beautiful frames. We'll talk about the necessary steps a cinematographer takes during pre-production including location scouting, storyboarding and planning, gear prep, and choosing a color palette to work in.

Then we'll head to the set and look behind the scenes at the lighting setup for each shot. We'll not only cover the how but more importantly, the why.

I'll also show you some alternative equipment you can use if you can't afford the cameras, lens, and lighting I had with me for this shoot.

All the lessons are short, easily digestible, and actionable. After watching this course you'll have the confidence to go out and make a great-looking music video.
