Mise-en-Scene

Rural Road

Rural Road

Setting and Props• This scene will be located on a local rural road which

has very little to no traffic. Surrounding the road and paths are fields which will support the idea of the countryside’s association with freedom, whilst juxtaposing previous urban scenes to create a contrast.

• There won’t be many props used due to this scene mainly comprising of the singer walking along a road, however off-screen props/equipment include high-visibility vests and torches.

• The outdoor setting will appeal to the genre of ‘indie pop’ with nature being a convention in many music videos.

Costume, Hair & Make-up

Rural Road

• The costume must be suitable for outdoor wear due to the setting of this scene, however it must still be fashionable and ‘indie’ in order to appeal to the young target audience.

• Jeans, boots, a jumper and perhaps a parker style coat will be a basis for the costume. Accessories such as wristbands and necklaces will be added to give personality to the outfit.

• The hair and makeup will be simple and natural looking, to suit the earthy location and effortless tone to the song and artists image.

Facial Expression &

Rural Road

• The character has been walking in the music video for some time now, therefore should look slightly tired, but not lost to correspond to the lyrics “I’m not lost, I’m just finding, my own way”.

• The character should look as though she is searching, perhaps confused or at least in thought. She will not make eye contact with the camera to add to the narrative style of the music video

• The singer could have her hands in her pockets to refer to the cold weather. However, she must look up-beat and hopeful.

Body Language

Lighting & Colour

Rural Road

• The lighting will be natural to suit the outdoor location.

• A torch covered with a piece of parchment paper could be used to provide a soft glow to the artists face if the lighting is too dark, however we must take caution to avoid the effect of artificial lighting.

• The colours, as with the lighting, will be natural looking, however, in the editing stage we could use colour correct to enhance the colour of the fields, or the approaching dusk.

Positioning of Characters

Rural Road

& Props within frame• We will aim to use leading lines and unusual angles to

accentuate the natural surroundings and add an ‘indie’ vibe to the video.

• The character will be central to the frame, however, there will be many extreme close ups, shots of her feet, over-the shoulder and side profile contrasted with long shots to enforce the idea of walking and journeys.

Campfire

Setting and Props• This scene will be located in a rural scene, with fields and barns

surrounding to create a feeling or freedom and liberation, which will appeal to the young (mainly female) target audience who will relate to the enjoyment of freedom from adults and the ‘real world’.

• There should be a party/fun tone to the video, achieved through props such as sparklers, marshmallows, and dancing.

• It will be evening/dusk time.• Other props include health and safety

equipment, lighting, blankets, scarves and seating.

Costume, Hair & Make-up

Campfire

• The singer’s makeup should remain the same – very natural, however, there is opportunity to have more eye makeup in a ‘smokey’ fashion to add to the party atmosphere.

• The hairstyle will remain the same as previous scene, but it could look more messy and voluminous.

• The costume should also remain appropriate for outdoor wear, however, additions such as shawls/scarves and gloves can be added.

• Hair accessories such as a hat or headband could be

added to suit the location and mood of the scene.

Facial Expression & Body Language

• The singer will be very happy, excited and energetic which will be reflected in the quick transitions and cuts, and also complement the tempo of the Corus

• The body language will also be joyous which can be displayed through her arms spread to imply freedom, she could be dancing, interacting with the extras and smiling/laughing

Campfire

Lighting & Colour

• A torch covered with a piece of parchment paper could be used to provide a soft glow to the artists face if the lighting is too dark due to this scene occurring at night, however, care must be taken to ensure the light is coming from the direction of the fire to prevent it looking artificial.

• The campfire will be the main source of lighting, therefore a colour palette of golds, ambers and orange will be apparent throughout this scene.

• A darker filter that saturates the image could be used to give the feeling that the campfire is occurring at night, yet also allows the singer, extras and props to remain visible and clear.

Positioning of Characters & Props within frame

• The character won’t remain in a fixed position within the frame, with the exception of shots where she is sat/stood around the fire, playing guitar or using sparklers.

• We will use the rule of thirds because this is the most successful method to position characters, however, the camera will be moving quickly, creating blurs to add an alternate/indie vibe to the music video.

• Close ups can also be used where the character dances and acknowledges the camera, creating a direct mode of address that will form a connection to the audience.
