The Night Is Beginning, lyric video sample

Style and material

Turn it up, hands in the air, one more round: “The Night Is Beginning” is a dance-floor song whose chorus promises the room will still be grinning when morning comes. The scene is a DJ mixer at night. The words light up on the mixer itself, on its LED display and on the ring around the platter, one line is marked in marker on masking tape, and a club glows out of focus behind. Light is the lettering here, so each line is lit on the mixer as it is sung.

About this clip

The Night Is Beginning is a 30-second lyric video sample for a song in English.

Visual style: words lit up on a DJ mixer. A DJ mixer at night: the words light up on the mixer itself, on its LED display and the ring around the platter, and one line is written in marker on masking tape, with a blurred club behind.

Why this look: DJ mixer style.

Across the clip: The whole clip is set on a DJ mixer in a club at night, filmed up close. The camera moves across faders, knobs and platters while green, yellow and red level meters jump with the music, and pink and blue stage lights blur behind. The words light up on the mixer itself: on its small LED display, around a lit knob ring and on a long LED strip, and one line is written in marker on a strip of masking tape stuck to the mixer.

The first and the last line of the clip:

“Turn it up, we’re taking the floor”
“Right here, right now, the night is beginning”

Lyrics (caption text)

The same text as the captions of the video.

Turn it up, we’re taking the floor
One more round, then a little bit more
Hands up high, let the whole room sing
Tonight belongs to everything
Turn it up, let the good times roll
Step by step, lose track of control
When the morning comes, we’ll still be grinning
Right here, right now, the night is beginning
