This font is 14pt, the line height is 20pt, it's color is orange, and the font family will be 'Garamond'. If the user's computer doesn't have 'Garamond', it will use 'Georgia'. Failing that it will use the default 'serif' font on the user's computer (this is often 'Times' or 'Times Roman' - just leave it as 'serif'). You can also specify bold text and italics if you wish!

Light filtering in music videos

An essential feature of my music video and the tone of the video is the red filter in the bedroom scenes. To ensure that this was utilised in a professional manner, I researched how full filtering has been used in other pop videos. The example I looked into was Ash's Girl From Mars.

The video above showcases abstract colourisation to create a sense of otherworldliness and a "trippy" atmosphere, in keeping with the title of the song and the theme of 'Mars'. Although this achieved through a highly different means than in my music video and the effect is vastly different in it's intention, this video successfully showcases the way in which colour filtering can be used, within pop promos, to create an intense atmosphere within a music video and hopefully the effect will maintain it's impact when applied, through sharp red lighting, in my own music video.
