Mise-en-scene

These are our notes on mise-en-scene for our video.

Costume/Make up:

We decided that to fit our target audience and genre, we would have to use costumes that they could relate to. This means we have to use stereotypical 'emo' clothes. This includes quite casual wear - jeans and black t-shirt for the female with checkered shoes. The male would wear a black t-shirt and black skinny jeans, and possibly wear eyeliner and fingerless gloves along with a wrist band and checkered shoes.

Setting:

We proposed four setting locations in which our video will be set....

This includes:

A recording studio

This studio will be in the East Sussex Academy of Music block. This is where the main character starts to sing at the beginning of the song and has a flash back to when she was younger. We chose a recording studio because it seems more authentic to the audience, as the song contains instruments that would have been recorded there.

A high street

This high street will be either in Lewes, East Sussex, or East street, Brighton. We chose this high street because it can be very busy at times. This would work perfectly for our shot with everyone moving quickly. We also chose this location because it is the kind of situation that teenagers can relate to, as teenagers like to spend time in town and shopping. This is also where we will film the short clips of the main character breaking up with previous partners.

A bedroom


We chose to set one of our locations in a bedroom, because teenagers relate to this as their 'safe place'. Many break ups and make ups happen in bedrooms so we thought this would be an ideal place to show the main character thinking of her love. This will also be where the main character is filmed writing her songs
