mise en scene

The clothing and props to be used in our video.

The characters in the video will be two teenagers, one male and the other female. they will be dressed in typical modern looks, such as jeans etc. The main sequence is similar to a scene of a film so they will be wearing the same clothes throughout the sequence, for continuity purposes. But however the characters will have other clothes in other scenes as it is a different occasion to the scenario of the characters in the music video. For example when the characters are lip syncing or when there are perhaps crowd shots, also when we do the stop motion there will be slightly different lighting, props, clothing, and location to the primary sequence. The main sequence will not have a selection of props as it only involves the protagonists walking towards each other, although we will be using the lego for stop motion in another sequence

The lighting in our music video.

In the main sequence of the boy and girl beside the river, the lighting will be purely natural, with no artificial lighting to emphasize the realism of this particular sequence. However when they are lip syncing, we will be using extra lighting in the back to enhance the quality of the image when it is transferred into the music video. Also when we began filming, we went out to film on the more appropriate occassions when it was sunny, this was primarily to keep the happy, up beat nature of the song rather than going out on a rainy, gloomy day, this ensured that the camera would not become damaged also.





The location for our music video.



Our music video is going to be shot in a numerous variety of locations. We will be filming on the campus in a green room, this is where we will be able to do some of the lip syncing, we will also be able to do out stop motion in this room if we needed to, and it is the best available place for our group to control the lighting and environment as it has several large spotlights and other lights that we would be able to use. Also we will be filming beside a river as mentioned above, and as the images below suggest. There is a pathway next to the river which we will be using for the characters, and the path has lots of different "angles" that we could film from, such as the variation of steps, and bridges that we could use in the video for good mise en scene and imagery.
