I really liked the effect of soft focus lights in Jamie xx's 'Loud Places'. The lighting helps to create a calm atmosphere that is also reinforced by the slow paced editing and slightly slow-motion shots. 'Loud Places' has shown me how mise-en-scene, such as lighting, can be combined with interesting editing and camerawork in order to achieve a desired atmosphere, in this case, calmness, in our video this would be 'confusion'. The out of focus lights also help to create a dream-like atmosphere, further adding to the peaceful atmosphere. We could use this technique in our music video as we want to portray a character that feels 'hypnotised', the soft focus lights would help to create ideas of a distorted reality.
