Influences Of Style - Task 6

The Weeknd mood board on PhotoPeach Doing this task was very beneficial to me as it gives me an insight to what kind of shots are included in the artists music videos and what locations are a possibility. I have gathered that direct address is not often used as the artist is usually looking in a different direction. Another positive is that I can see what effects are used and what effect they have on the people watching. I perceived the effect as trying to represent what influence the drugs or alcohol has had on the artist as the slow motion is representing his dreariness and slow reactions. I have also realised the lighting and clothing is very dark with shades of light catching your attention so you are focusing on the important aspects in the frame.
