Lens Technique To Use in My Video

While researching lens techniques and techniques in order to achieve the look I'm going for I found out about putting tights(stockings) over the lens in order to make the footage appear soft focus and dreamy.

This effect has been used in The Rat Pack (1998) dir. Rob Cohen.

It brings a retro, dreamy late 60s feel to the footage which works cohesively with my product as my chosen song is from the late 60s.
I decided to buy a pair of tights in order to test this out and it worked.
I'm also going to buy different coloured tights to see how that looks.

I bought some tights and put them over my camera lens and took a picture of a light to see if the effect worked and how effective it was. This was the result:

Overall, I think the effect worked really well and I will be using it in my video whenever I can as I love the dreamy, misty, foggy effect it creates - which especially suits the tone and mood of the song.
