Final Costume Planning
This document discusses costume planning for a music video. It proposes dressing the singer in casual, indie-style clothing to reflect the genre and focus attention on the meaningful song. For the narrative character of a depressed young girl, darker black clothing is suggested to convey isolation and suppressed emotion, along with creative hairstyles to show her deviation from social norms.
Representation
This document discusses representations in music videos and how different groups are portrayed. It notes that representations are not reality but rather re-presentations of reality meant to convey ideas to audiences. Key representational categories discussed include gender, age, class, ethnicity, and region/place. An example is given of how women and black men are sometimes represented in rap videos in ways that objectify women or portray black men as thugs. The document concludes by outlining how the artist in an upcoming music video will be represented as youthful, carefree, and having fun in different places and situations to appeal to a similar-aged target audience.
Costumes
Costumes and makeup play an important role in how artists represent themselves in music videos. Lady Gaga, for example, uses elaborate costumes and makeup to establish herself as a fashion icon, which has helped increase her profits by building her brand and personal connection with consumers. For a music video narrative contrasting a natural field setting with a made-up mirror scene expressing pressure and conformity, the filmmakers chose a heavy glam makeup look for the latter and a put-together outfit indicating a desire for perfection.
Analysis of a music video - Naughty Boy 'La La La'
The music video is for a song by British producer Naughty Boy featuring vocals from Sam Smith. It tells the story of a boy who escapes from his angry father and embarks on a magical journey. The video draws inspiration from the legends of the Wizard of Oz and the demon El Tio, referenced through characters like the straw man, tin man, and lion accompanying the boy. Intertextual references and the beats of the song help advance the storyline of the boy's journey. The video challenges conventions by focusing on telling the story rather than promoting the artist.
Artist styling and costume planning
The document discusses makeup and costume planning for a music video targeted at teenagers aged 12-18. For makeup, a natural look is recommended to appear fresh but not tired, balancing attention to the narrative. For costumes, each character's individual style is suggested alongside generic teen items and winter clothes, allowing audiences to relate while expressing uniqueness.
Evaluation 2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a main product with ancillary texts like magazine ads and album packaging. It analyzes how the imagery, colors and layouts of the ancillary texts for a Lana Del Rey music video relate back to and reinforce the themes, emotions and imagery presented in the main video. Specifically, it notes how the sad expressions and color red in the ads reflect the somber and painful themes of the video, and how the simple white font and color of the artist's dress in the packaging mirrors elements from the video to tie it all together visually and conceptually.

This document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media forms and genres. It uses conventions of the sadcore genre like a sad storyline and flashbacks. It develops conventions like using dance scenes to convey emotion and mise-en-scene to set a dark, gloomy mood. It challenges conventions by incorporating dark themes of murder not typically seen in sadcore and depicting the "damsel" fighting back in the fairy tale narrative. Real media examples are provided for comparison throughout.
Music Video Analysis
Kanye West's "Homecoming" music video was filmed in black and white to give it a historic feel as Kanye explores his hometown of Chicago. It features Chris Martin performing in silhouette over footage of Kanye and Chicago, representing Kanye's close connection to the city. The low-budget video has Kanye dancing behind a reflective vehicle as buildings pass by, maintaining a professional look despite limited resources.

Mise en-scene overall group work
The document discusses the planning for the mis-en-scene elements of a student music video. It outlines that mis-en-scene is an important technique to consider for both filming and audience viewing. Key elements of lighting, costumes, props, color, location, and makeup will be planned to portray the theme of appearance vs. reality and the protagonist's true feelings of unhappiness beneath a happy facade. Locations like a college theater, small flat, and busy street will be used to show the difference between when the girl is dancing and supported versus alone to feel isolated.
Blue
The music video for Marina and the Diamonds' song "Blue" uses a retro, fairground-themed mise-en-scene with colorful shots that reflect the indie pop genre. Marina is often shown looking sad alone at the fairground, representing the lonely feelings conveyed in the song's lyrics. The visuals and tone of the video correspond to the lyrics and music, with slower cuts during passionate parts and more cuts and dancing during upbeat parts. Marina is always the central focus of close-up and full-body shots, showcasing her unique retro style and bright makeup. The video also references the film 'Grease' through its retro atmosphere of cars and rides.
Recovered file 1
The document discusses how the film opening represented various social groups through conforming to and subverting stereotypes. It represented:
- Men stereotypically through masculine features and costumes but subverted through a naive male lead.
- Women largely stereotypically through feminine pink outfits and makeup but subverted with a brunette lead rather than blonde.
- Ethnicities unconventionally with an Asian male lead and attractive white female lead.
- Middle class stereotypically through suburban homes and expensive city spending.
- Ages appropriately from late 20s to early 30s through office wear and facial hair for men and smart skirts for women.
Part 3 Evaluation
The document summarizes the themes, imagery, and stylistic elements used across three marketing products - a song, music video, and album - to promote an artist named Kim King. Red, pink, and white colors and the symbol of a rose are used to represent themes of love. Font and visual style are kept consistent across products. The bedroom setting and artist's covered nudity in the images convey romance and sex appeal while protecting her image as a classy role model. The goal is to distinguish her representation from other artists portrayed as overtly sexualized.
Media Evaluation Question 1
The document discusses the creative choices made in producing a music video for a song. The video was meant to reinforce themes of vibrant urban youth enjoying life and exploring the city. Images of graffiti walls and multiple locations were used to tie into the song lyrics and represent an urban feel. The artist featured was constructed to fit an image of someone focused on the music rather than commercialism or image. Medium close-ups of the artist's face were frequently used to keep viewers grounded in the experience and emphasize the close relationship between artist and song. The video was also meant to appeal to both male and female viewers by avoiding overly sexualized or exploitative imagery typical of many music videos.
Conventions
The document discusses how a media product used and developed conventions of the R&B genre while also challenging some conventions to make the product unique. Some conventions that were used included showing skin, directly addressing the audience, and using luxurious locations. However, the most significant way conventions were challenged was through the narrative - rather than having a happy ending, the female lead dies, subverting audience expectations. This twist positioned the artist as different from typical R&B artists and leaves the audience anticipating the artist's next moves.
Mood board
The document discusses location, color palette, lighting, and costume considerations for a music video in the indie folk genre. It recommends using natural outdoor locations like forests and beaches to convey emotions through their symbolic meanings. Indoor locations like bedrooms are also suggested to make the narrative more relatable. A subtle, natural color palette matching the genre is advised for costumes and mise-en-scene elements. Backlighting and underlighting can be used to focus on the actress but appear natural. Examples of successful indie folk music videos are provided for reference.
Representation of social groups
The film represents teenagers through clothing, appearance, and gritty locations featured in scenes. These aspects allow the target teenage audience to relate to the characters and situations portrayed. While adults would not connect as strongly, the film portrays stereotypical teenage behavior realistically, such as through an illegal drug deal carried out by characters driving a less-than-ideal car who obey their boss's orders innocently.
Locations
The document discusses how locations are important for setting the scene in photo shoots and conveying information about the subject without seeing the model. It provides examples of effective locations for photoshoots of R&B artists Alicia Keys and The Weeknd that tie into the feeling and themes of their music genres. The blurred city background in The Weeknd's shoot conveys a sense of him feeling alone in a big city, emphasizing themes in his music. An effective location can tell a story and provide insight beyond what the artist expresses.
'Nobody to love' - SIGMA Textual Analysis
The music video demonstrates several genre characteristics: it uses a fast, catchy beat; the relationship between the lyrics and visuals is clear; and there are many close-ups of the artists' faces showing them enjoying themselves. This promotes a lifestyle of fun and positivity. However, the video also presents some issues with its sexualization and voyeuristic treatment of the female body through costumes and camera angles focused on their physiques. Eye contact between the female protagonists conveys their strong friendship, while one woman's gaze at the camera shows her confidence.
Rihanna
The document summarizes key elements of Rihanna's CD cover artwork. It notes that her hair covers part of her face to appear seductive and attract fans, while her lips are prominently featured. The stance and blank expression are meant to portray her as a "good girl gone bad" and suggest her seductive appearance and genre of music. Both the front and back covers emphasize her feminine figure and promiscuous appearance to attract audiences.
Exploring mise en scene final
This document analyzes promotional images of three dance music artists - Calvin Harris, Disclosure, and Skream - and summarizes how their appearance, poses, costumes, backgrounds, and lighting are used to convey their image and relatability to fans. For Calvin Harris, his casual clothes and hair show he is relatable while also unusual, intriguing, and willing to make his mark in dance music. Disclosure is presented as cool, trendy siblings through their casual matching outfits and poses, conveying confidence yet a "blank canvas" image as newcomers. Skream's classic casual outfit, tousled hair, and friendly facial expression and pose aim to present him as a relatable yet pivotal and serious dubstep artist.
Representation In Our Music Video
1. The music video will focus on the main singer, Freya Tamsin, representing her as the "star image" through solo shots and shots with backup dancers.
2. Scenes of Freya singing "Take Me To Church" while falling to her knees and dramatic camera angles and lighting will help audiences understand and connect with the song's message about acceptance of different sexualities.
3. A stained glass window reflection on the back wall is intended to literally represent the song's message to audiences about acceptance in a church-like setting.
Ag theory 1
Andrew Goodwin's theory analyzes the music video for DJ Snake's "Middle" and how it uses visuals and music to represent the protagonist's feelings. The video shows the main character looking lonely and sad when the music is slow and melodic, emphasizing how alone he feels. His facial expressions match the upbeat and happy music when the beat drops. The lyrics about time freezing and views from a window ledge directly connect to how lonely and sad the protagonist appears in close-up shots. While the urban costumes, painted faces, and graffiti-covered streets depict a dangerous city scene, this style represents the fun and lively portrayal of EDM festivals.
Poster analyse
The document analyzes posters for several artists including Maverick Sabre and Plan B. It finds that the posters generally depict the artists looking emotional and reflect the personal experiences and feelings explored in their soul/indie/rap music. Maverick Sabre's posters particularly portray a man struggling with his identity and sense of belonging as shown through his dual British-Irish passports and few possessions. The locations and designs of the posters for Plan B and The Streets similarly reflect the urban backgrounds and "dark lyrics" of their music.
Poster analyse
The document analyzes posters for several artists including Maverick Sabre and Plan B. It finds that the posters often depict the artists looking emotional and reflect personal experiences consistent with genres like soul/indie/rap that frequently address personal topics. Maverick Sabre's posters particularly portray a sense of lack of belonging and identity struggles as he held both British and Irish passports. The document suggests the posters help tell the artists' stories and connect personally with audiences.
In what ways does your media product use
Our media product challenges conventions by using red fonts and imagery in titles and a character wearing red to represent romance semantically. It also uses Disney-princess style music that starts bubbly but ends confused to match a title sequence portraying time passing through a montage of multiple bad dates for the main character, with the music suggesting sarcasm after the men speak. The product develops forms by having the music and filming work smoothly together.
Lush life
Zara Larsson throws away a necklace in the music video for "Lush Life" to symbolize breaking free from a past relationship. Various graphics and imagery throughout the video represent themes of love, hearts, and worth. Scenes of Zara alone help establish her identity as an emerging artist. The video aims to portray the idea of living one's best life through symbols of sun and sea, while also depicting that life isn't always happy through images of shadows and contrasts between light and dark. By the end, Zara throws away a piece of paper with a number, suggesting she no longer needs a relationship and will instead love herself.
Video evaluation pp
The document analyzes the relationship between the music, lyrics, and video for the song "Hypasonic". It discusses how the fast tempo of the song is matched by high-energy editing in the video. Specific lyrics are emphasized through visuals, such as dancing or hugging a photo to illustrate being held by a love. The choreography and cuts are coordinated with musical elements like the beat dropping and slowing sections. While repetition of lyrics allows the audience to learn them, it requires creativity to keep the visuals interesting. The video aims to create the atmosphere of a club through effects without being in one physically.
Original music video review
The document provides a detailed review and analysis of the music video for "Nobody To Love" by Sigma. It examines the different settings featured in the video, including sandy/dirt roads, mountains, beaches, cars, an abandoned building, country roads, and a lake. For each setting, it analyzes how the setting relates to the song and enhances the viewing experience for the target audience of 16-21 year olds. It also discusses the various costumes worn by the main characters and other individuals featured in the video. The costumes are shown to match the environments and locations depicted.
Bob tink – what
The document provides details about costumes and locations for a music video that will depict binary opposites through visual elements. For costumes, the actor will wear dark, colorless attire in sad scenes and brighter colored clothing in happy scenes. Additionally, the actor will wear more layers in winter-themed sad scenes and fewer layers in summer-themed happy scenes. Key recurring locations mentioned are crossroads, the actor's house, and a skate park, which will visually represent lyrics about feeling lost and a relationship going nowhere.

Question 1
This document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real R&B music videos. It uses conventions such as bedroom scenes, close-ups, flashbacks, and depicting wealth. It develops conventions through creative lighting, costume choices, and location transitions. It challenges conventions by focusing on the female protagonist rather than the male, not overly sexualizing characters, empowering the female through costume, and using relatable rather than flashy locations.
Question 1
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products
Evalutation one
The document discusses how a media product uses and challenges conventions of real hip hop media through its narrative, relationships between music/visuals, star image, and intertextuality. It analyzes these elements in a student-created music video. Key points made include using clothing, cameras angles, and pacing to distinguish character vs artist and build narrative. Relationships between lyrics and visuals help tell the story. Intertextuality was inspired by Drake's music video.
Mise en scene passion productions
The document discusses the mise-en-scene elements for a music video including:
1) Choosing the song "Confident" by Demi Lovato to appeal to their target audience and make the video unique by not being a love song.
2) Using three main locations - a basketball court, alleyway, and woods - to show different emotions and moods of the artist and keep the video interesting.
3) Selecting typical teenage clothing like jeans and t-shirts to make the artist seem relatable, while also including stereotypical sports clothes for male characters and rebellious clothes for some scenes.
Challenging Video Conventions
The document discusses how the creators of a country music video drew inspiration from other country music videos. They analyzed videos by Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, Sam Smith, The 1975, and Blake Shelton to inform elements of shots, narrative, imagery, and tone in their own video. Key elements they incorporated included dissolve transitions between shots, casual clothing, natural imagery, a clear narrative, and sepia tones and slow motion to represent memories of the past. They also wanted to pay homage to early female country artists through a shot with dull lighting.
Construction of mise en scene
This document provides details on the mise en scene and production design for four different locations to be used in filming a music video. Each location is described in terms of props, costumes, lighting, colors, and makeup used to portray the intended mood and match the narrative. The first location represents an urban setting and will feature casual costumes and low natural lighting. The second focuses on a female protagonist depicted through stereotypical ballet attire, bright lighting, and obvious makeup. The third location is where the two main characters meet amid a mix of natural and artificial lighting. The fourth returns to the first location's costumes and uses natural lighting to portray bleakness and communicate the song's message and genre.
Pitch presentation
The document discusses plans for a music video to promote a new female pop artist named Crystal. The video will feature Crystal singing Demi Lovato's "Confident" and show her participating in a girls vs boys competition. Scenes will include Crystal walking aggressively down an alleyway, performing confidently in the woods, and competing in basketball against boys. The video aims to portray Crystal as rebellious yet feminine through her costumes, makeup, and locations.
Copy of mise en scene
The document discusses the mise-en-scene elements for a music video including location, clothing, makeup, and hair. Three main locations are chosen - a basketball court to show the lead as sporty, an alleyway to portray her as rebellious, and woods to depict her as carefree. Typical teenage clothing like jeans and t-shirts are selected to make the lead relatable. Makeup and hair are chosen to match the emotion of each scene. A rival basketball player is included to add competition to the music video's narrative of the lead winning a game.
The mise en scène elements of our music
The document provides details on the mise en scène elements for a music video including costume, props, lighting, location/set design, and acting. Costumes will have a vintage folk rock style to relate to the genre and lyrics. Props like instruments are important to show the friendship of the band. Lighting will use high key and low key styles to portray the character's emotions. The location of Bawsey Pits is chosen for its natural scenery. The protagonist's bedroom set aims to make him seem relatable. Acting must be committed to convince the audience of the video's reality.
Evaluation q 1
Our music video adheres to conventions of the soul/jazz genre through simple costumes, makeup, and a focus on lyrics over visuals. However, we challenge some conventions by using many close-ups to show emotion and a mix of performance and narrative shots rather than being purely performance-based. We conform to stereotypes of portraying a single female artist in a non-sexual way and using natural lighting and on-location filming but subvert expectations through some narrative elements. In conclusion, our music video both develops and challenges some conventions of real soul/jazz music videos.

The document provides an analysis of a music video for an R&B song. It discusses how the video uses various shot types, close-ups, and narrative elements to convey the artist's emotions over a breakup and challenge some conventions of typical R&B music videos. Jump cuts, desaturation, lyrics, and slow pacing of cuts are used to reflect the mood of the slow, sad song and show the relationship from its happy times to its ending.
Music Video Pitch Amended
The group proposes a music video for Taylor Swift's "Out of the Woods" that splits between a narrative and performance. The performance will take place in the woods with close-ups and mid-shots of Swift lip syncing. The narrative will follow Swift and a male character's anxious relationship developing from carefree to tense. Dancers will be briefly featured through close-ups superimposed over Swift to add atmosphere. The video aims to portray Swift's brand as dreamlike and innocent through her white dress and makeup in the woods setting.
Mise En-Scene Planning
The document outlines the mise-en-scene plan for an indie music video for the song "Everywhere I Go" by Lissie. The video will feature the artist Cerys having fun with friends in locations around London like Camden and an arcade to convey her personality. A stalker character played by Blixa Aguerreberry will represent the lurking danger mentioned in the song by stalking Cerys without showing his face. Cerys will wear simple indie-style clothing like mom jeans, jacket, and natural makeup and hair to develop her image for the audience.
Question 1
The document provides an analysis of a music video created by the author in reference to five criteria for effective music videos. It examines the narrative, editing, camerawork, and diegesis of the video based on theories of what makes an effective music video. It also references other popular music videos that demonstrate similar techniques. The analysis finds that the author's video effectively illustrates the song lyrics through visuals, uses editing and camerawork that enhances the music, prominently features the artist, employs voyeurism to develop characters and the narrative, and includes intertextual references to appeal to the target audience.
P4ND4H - Treatment
The document provides a treatment for a trap music video featuring the song "Panda" by Desiigner. It will tell the story of 3-5 characters meeting at an abandoned suburban farm location at night. The video will have two sections - the first with a dark, gritty tone shown through casual attire, masks, and natural/car lighting, and the second with a softer, more relaxed tone shown through smarter attire and natural light. Key shots include characters individually arriving and meeting, showing off cars and lavish lifestyles, and characters leaving in reverse at the end.
Treatment
The music video treatment is for a trap music video featuring the song "Panda" by Desiigner. It will have 3-5 characters meeting at an abandoned farm building at night while wearing masks. The video will have two sections to match changes in the song - the first will be dark and gritty with casual clothes, while the second will be softer with smarter attire. Shots will include the characters arriving and interacting at the location, as well as driving and showing off wealth. References are made to other trap-style videos for location, editing, and attire ideas.
Question one powerpoint
The document analyzes the conventions used in a music video created by the author. It discusses how the narrative, characters, artist, and other elements employ conventions of mainstream music videos, while also challenging some conventions. The male character displays a range of emotions conventionally seen in male roles. Costumes are more realistic than trend-setting. Effects are used to represent emotions subtly rather than leaving interpretation to the audience. The overall product strives to balance conventions with original techniques and representation of relatable characters.
Question one
This document discusses the conventions used and challenged in a music video project. It examines the use of narrative, character portrayals and costumes, locations of the artist, solo shots, and effects. The music video uses conventions such as a relationship narrative, male characters displaying a range of emotions, and artists appearing where the narrative takes place. However, it also challenges conventions by giving equal screen time to both characters, portraying typical teenage clothing, and using color changes to represent emotions rather than being explicit. The document provides examples to support how the project employs and adjusts conventions of mainstream music video forms.

Question 4
Grace conducted research using Google and YouTube to understand music video genres and conventions. She created a survey to understand audience preferences and published the results on Tumblr. Grace and Sophie filmed a focus group discussion with their target audience to inform their music video planning. They created a storyboard and animatic in Premiere Pro to visualize the video. After filming and editing footage, they posted drafts on YouTube to gather feedback before finalizing the video.
Inspiration from george ezra
After studying George Ezra's music videos, the document discusses how they emulated some of his filming techniques. They used close-up, centered shots of their character to engage audiences and allow them to relate, as Ezra's videos did. They also experimented with angled close-up shots to make their character seem more powerful, as Ezra's videos sometimes did. Additionally, they included urban environments, as one of Ezra's videos did, to match their target audience's interests.
Imagination shots
To distinguish the main character's imagined scenes with his "dream girl" from the original clips, the filmmakers decided to add a filtered effect and black outline to the imagined clips. They also believe filming the main character enjoying himself alone in the countryside expresses that the countryside is where he wants to be with the girl and represents him enjoying his time more in the country.
Conventions of a music video
The document discusses conventions used in music videos. It explains that camera shots like long shots, close-ups, and mid shots are used to focus on artists and establish the mood. Mise-en-scene, or the visual elements of a video, reflect the song's emotions and message through settings and costumes. Genres also influence conventions - love videos depict relationships through bright colors and fashion, while indie videos emphasize authenticity with live performances. Edits switch between locations, artists, and scenes to tell the story and match the music. Lighting and sound also reflect the genre through bright versus dark tones and fast versus slow pacing.
Research into the music industry!
Music videos are generally made after a record label approves a budget. They go through pre-production, filming, editing, and adding special effects and sound editing. Directors come up with concepts and shot choices to represent the song visually through narrative or artistic elements. Footage is edited together and effects are added before being approved by the label. Famous directors like John Landis and Spike Jonze brought unique styles and concepts that made their videos stand out. Professional music video budgets can range from $20,000 to over $7 million for high-profile artists.
Blame it on me lyric analysis
This song is about wanting to leave one's current situation and head west with a romantic partner to find a new path. The singer tries to convince his partner to come with him and leave everything behind. He describes feeling trapped in the middle of a situation and longs to lose control. Throughout the song he insists that any problems that arise should be blamed on him alone.
Questionnaire analysis
A questionnaire asked about featuring an artist in a video, whether an actor suited the artist's role, and whether the video should have an abstract concept or storyline. It also polled preferences for shooting locations of a city, bus, house or along a street. The results were analyzed to help target the video's audience.
Target audience questionnaire
The document is a questionnaire for a target audience to provide feedback on a planned music video. It asks about the respondent's age, gender, favorite music videos and artists, preferred music genres, and whether they think the proposed storyline and artist depiction would suit the planned video for the song "Blame It On Me" by George Ezra. Respondents are also asked to provide any additional ideas they may have.

Contents page research
This documents consists of my research into contents pages which will hopefully help me gain an understanding of how I want my contents page to look.
Rock genre research
After researching the magazines which are labelled as 'rock' I have learned the typical conventions.
Question 1
The document discusses how a media product follows conventions of the dramedy genre. It focuses on one main character throughout with characters that challenge stereotypes. Small problems build to a climax and are resolved. The soundtrack is happy but also fits dramatic moments. Love Actually and Juno are examples that conform to these conventions. The media product also focuses on two non-stereotypical "hipster" characters that meet unexpectedly, and includes minimal dialogue to advance the plot subtly without distraction. The music is upbeat but relaxed, and titles are subtle but noticeable, conforming to dramedy conventions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Construction of mise en-scene
- 1. Construction of mise-en-scene In our music video, we are using two locations in order to represent a different ambiance in each place. For example in our city locations we have decided to use ‘rougher’ areas with lots of brick walls and minimal colours to express a dull and sad location. We want to represent the city as dull because this is where our main male character is trying to escape from, therefore we need to make sure the location is worth escaping from. In contrast to that, the countryside location is idyllic, pretty and quiet. This is represented in our mise-en-scene by having lots of greenery like fields and a reservoir to represent tranquillity. Our male character is represented as an alternative character which we believe will appeal to our selected target audience. We are aiming to represent the male character as being in an unhappy mood whilst filming in the city location, whereas in the countryside location we will represent the character as being in a happy mood and ‘letting go’ when playing his guitar. This will co-inside with the lyrics ‘When I dance alone and the veils overused, Blame it on me’. The outfit in which our male character will be dressed in could be seen as a ‘hipster’ style, or a ‘fashion dependant’ choice. This will appeal to our target audience as we believe this is what they will aspire to be like. We will also represent the female character as classy and sophisticated but dressing her in appropriate clothing for the video. We believe that this will again appeal to our audience as they won’t be interested in seeing a female character represented in a derogatory way. As mentioned previously, we are trying to get across that our character is trying to escape to the countryside to be free and be with his girlfriend. The message will hopefully be clear as we will represent a distinctive difference in mood, costumes, locations and representations of each person. We believe that the mise-en-scene in our music video will accurately represent the genre of the song we have chosen. Therefore this will attract the right audience for our piece and will allow us to please the audience to gain maximal potential of viewings.
