Planning - Inspirations


"Power"



I've been taking a look at the famous or infamous (view him as you like) Kanye West's videos.
Whatever you're opinion of his antics, the colour grading used in his videos are simply beautiful.

A few examples of the key video's i have taken a close look at are;
Power, Welcome to Heartbreak and Can't tell me Nothing.




Colour

- Sepia/Gold tones

- Gold highlights on the Angels wings. (particularly at 0:48 secs)

- Grey/Blue highlights on the clouds (thunder/lightening)



General/Camera shots etc

- Slow Motion (Angels)

- Fast/quick zooms (no real
camera movement

- Stills layered to created a static effect
(Camera panning in and out)

- Circular/oval framing on edges, adding
another dimension - changing overall shape
and mood of the video. Creating another
dimension.
