Description of the mise-en-scene of out music video.

1. We have thought out our mise-en-scenes well as we have
picked places where we know will help us with our music
video and make it better. Mise-en-scene includes costumes,
props, lighting, colour, location, make-up etc. We haven’t
gone over the top with our costumes as we want the
audiences to feel like they can relate to our music videoand
the actors/actresses seem relatable to them fashion wise. It
will representourmusicvideoand artists as it will show that
the music video is with the trends and connected with our
targetaudience.Ourgenre ispopsowe have towearfun and
casual outfitssotheydon’tlookoverthe top,itneedstohave
some outfits that show the personalities of the characters. It
creates a mood of fun and excitement as when you watch a
music video you usually see what the characters are wearing
for inspiration. Thisissomethingthatpeople can relate to as
it’s a very casual and doesn’t cost much to get. It creates a
relaxingmoodasthere isn’tanythingthatmakesthe outfitstandoutwhichwedidn’twant,wewanted
it to seem as normal as possible to the audience.
The props we will use will be everyday things so no
one will reallyknow thatwe are usingthemto help
us with our music video. They will be subtle and
unnoticeable as they will be something the target
audience will be usedtoandtake no notice of them
such as make-up, aftershave and a phone. Using
propssuch as a car will notmake people thinkbigof
it as they see them every day, but to us we will be
using it as a prop to help us send a message to the
audience. We will be using props that we know our
targetaudience mightuse orhave aninterestinand
therefore itwillassistuswithentertainingthemand
making it more relatable. If we wanted to create a
specific mood then using props will help us to do so, by moving thingsaround and setting the scene
with props can make the whole mood change within a few movements. We will put things such as
colourful pictures and ornaments that we know our audience will have in their rooms/parties.
The lighting I think will be the hardest to control and
use to our advantage as it’sa very hard thingto keep
in charge and directin the right way.The party scene
I think will be challenging but we didn’twant to play
it safe as it limitsusto show off out abilitiestomake
a music video. The lighting will be colourful at the
party to create a fun and energetic atmosphere just
like anyotherpartywill be likeaswe wantedtomake
itlooklike areal party. Thishelpconnectwiththe Pop
genre as it’s about the happy vibe and energetic
feelings, so if you include colourful lights it automatically makes you feel upbeat.

2. The colours we will
include inour music
video will not
always be colourful,
we can’t make
everything different
colours all the time,
we have thought
through when it
would be best to include colours and when not to really
worry aboutbringingcolourinto it.We want to make the bedroomswhere the boysand girlswill be
getting ready colourful or with a main colour in each room. This creates a more teenage vibe as
stereotypicallyadult’s room are quite well thought out and simple, so having them colourful makes
you feel like they are just like you. This creates a more fun atmosphere as they are surrounded by
colour and patterns. Throughout the music video we will be including strong, boldcolours such as a
red car and different coloured party lights.
The locationwe will be havingistwobedrooms,outside ahouse andapartyscene.These willbe easy
to control exceptthe partyscene as thingscan move and can become inconsistentwhichwill loseus
marks.We will tidythe roomsbut nottoo much as don’twant theirroomsto be seenas too tidyand
people pointitout,but we don’twant clothesall overthe floorand itlooklike a mess.We will move
things for it to fit in with our music videos and add props in if neededto, outside the house we will
have to make sure there isnothingthatcan standout and make it lookbad suchas a bike fallenover
or bin bags in the shot.
Make-up of the characters will be bold when at the party,
mostlyforthe girls.Butyoudon’tgettoseetheirfacesuntilthe
party so they will only been seen with their makeup done all
nice and fancy. We want them to look nice and attractive for
the target audience so people will want to watch the music
video, mostly aimed at boys but also girls. Making them look
presentable will intriguedthem into continuing to watch the
video and see what else there is to see.
