Blog 10 - Mise-en-scene.

This blog will consist of the mise-en-scene which will be used in our music video. For example; settings/locations, props, costumes and make-up. I will be explaining how the mise-en-scene chosen will target the audience and how it reflects the genre of the music video. Not only this, but also how it contributes to the representation and how it communicates the story and the ideas.

The song chosen for the music video is Paramore - The only exception.

This is a section in my presentation which was used for the pitch. I had wrote this when creating the presentation;

We were thinking that for the characters involved in the music video, it would be good for them to casually dress as the stereotype of ‘emos’. We were thinking that it could be quite casual. Maybe a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt for the female, with fingerless gloves and eyeliner on and for the male, we were thinking that he could wear a black shirt and black trousers like the picture above of the male. He could maybe wear a wrist band and some checkered shoes. Same goes to the female about the shoes.

This would represent that the video is directed towards those who are more scene or as some like to stereotype it 'Emo'. This is because Paramore are more directed to this audience.

Most of the music video will be filmed in the recording studio, town and a house. The recording studio will be used the most, where there will be cuts from the storyline to the recording studio because it shows the main character singing. The town will be used for the past break up scenes and then the house is used to represent her only exception - the one she is with in the end. We were thinking of using a bedroom and a kitchen in the house. The bedroom showing the audience that they are together and they are both sleeping in the same room. Not only this, but it will also be a shot of the main character waking up whilst her 'Only exception' is asleep. Lastly; the kitchen would represent that they have their own independance - living together and not with anybody else. Although, that is ambiguious to the audience.
