mise en scene of the music video
TRANSCRIPT
*
*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.
*
*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.
