*Setting and locations play an important role in film

making and are not just backgrounds.

*Sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of

time is spent to find a setting which already exists.

* A small object such as a book, weapon etc, used by

actors in a play or film is known as prop.

*

*A jam room is shown in the video, where the band

performs. Apart from that, a graveyard, a room, a

road, a park and a ground/field is shown in the

narration, altogether.

*Moreover, props which are used in the video are, a

table, chair, mobile phone, drum kit, guitars,

microphone stand, microphone, drum throne, car,

bench, etc.

*

*Facial expressions provide a clear indicator of how

someone is feeling.

*Body language also expresses the feelings of a

character.

*

* In the opening narration (Past): The facial

expressions of the band members in the opening

narration are according to the situations and

tragedies of their lives (tensed, depressed, sad,

frustrated, angry). The body language showed the

tensions in their minds, the movements of their

hands, etc.

*The meeting point (Present): After going through all

of the tough time, the band members met after 10

years, to reunite the band, so their expressions were

also positive, they were smiling and cheering up.

*

*The Performance: While performing in the jam

room, the expressions and body language of the

members were changing according to the music they

were playing. Facial expressions changed massively

depending on what they were playing. Hence, we can

name the expressions as, the musical expressions and

body language.

*

*The appearance of the character in an act

depends on the costume, hair & make up.

*

*All of the band members wore black shirts in

the video. This was the one thing common

among the cast.

*Whereas, if we talk about styling, rock

hairstyles were used by the members, such as

spikes.

*Make-up such as blush on and eye make up was

used in the performance part of the video.

*

*The use of various light sources, both artificial

and natural, to achieve some aesthetic or

practical effect while illuminating a scene is

known as lighting.

*

*Yellow lights, spot lights, natural lighting and

flash lights were used in the video to create a

natural feel in the scenes.

*

*Positioning within a frame can draw our

attention to an important character or an

object and it is used throughout the video on

various characters and objects.
