1. Mise enscene
Mise- en-scenemeans something put in a scene and it consists of prop,
costume and lightning. This will helps us in terms of picking up props for the
actors. We will pick different clothes for each actor for a reason. For example,
the two main protagonists ‘Daniella Benson’ will wear pink because she’s a girl
and ‘DwayneGrossett’ willwear blue becauseits bright colour and we
associateboys with the colour blue.
However, the theme of our music video will be lively and the setting will be in
a pleasant environment, which means that the actors will haveto wear bright
colours.
This music video by Beyonce is linked with the release of the film ‘DreamGirls’.
Therefore there are shortscenes of the film within the music video; often the
lyrics will link in with the plot of the film advertising both the music and the
film.
The music video also links with the film by its scenery as there is a shotof a
scene wherethere’s a photo-shootand the people are giving each other ‘the
looks’ which represents love in the air. There are also scenes of them meeting,
talking, arguing and fighting which represents how people start and end
relationships.
2. The atmosphere of the video is lively but it changes at the end of the video,
there are dark shots of the woman singing later on creating an impression of
sadness.

Music videos shows contrastfromoneanother but they are similar as well.
They all aim to portray a video which clearly fits with their lyrics to allow the
audience understand the song and also promoting it at the same time. My
group and I will make surethat our music video will fit the lyrics of the artist
we picked. The mise en scene setting is one of the mostessential aspects of
the music video.
