The document discusses the mise en scene rationales for a music video, including settings, lighting, costume, hair and makeup, and props. The settings will be a kitchen and woods to represent modern times and allow a prisoner to hide. Natural lighting will be used outdoors and artificial lighting indoors. Costumes will distinguish the old man in modern clothes from the prisoner of war in a white t-shirt and joggers. Hair and makeup will be natural as the models are men. General household items will serve as props with no musical instruments since it is a narrative music video.

1. MISE EN SCENE RATIONALES

2. SETTING
• The settings that I have chosen for my music video
will help to create a mood and atmosphere for my
music video.
• Kitchen – I will use a kitchen as this is a very common
setting and can help to represent the modern times in
which part of my music video is set.
• Woods – I will use the woods as a setting in my music
video as it is a common place where people could get
lost or hide. This will be a good place for my music
video as it will allow the prisoner of war to hide and
run away.

3. LIGHTING
• Different types of light can create different moods
and atmospheres within a music video.
• Natural – This will come from the sun and will be used
in my music video in the woods. This help to add to
the music video and make it more realistic. This will be
used when filming in the day time.
• Artificial – I will use this type of lighting when I am
filming inside the kitchen and when it is slightly dark
outside.

4. COSTUME
• The costume helps to show personality in the
characters within my music video. It also helps the
audience to distinguish between the different times.
• Old Man – The old man will wear a shirt and trousers
to show the modern times.
• Boy – The boy will wear a white t-shirt and joggers to
show that he is a prisoner of war.

5. HAIR AND MAKE-UP
• As both of my models are men neither of them will
need to wear any make-up.
• Old Man – The old man will have his hair how he
naturally wears it.
• Boy – The boy will have his hair how he naturally
wears it.

6. PROPS
• General house hold items will the props that I use in
my music video. As my music video will be a narrative
music videos there will be no musical instruments in
it.
