Mise-en-Scene for music video

Meeting no 3

For this meeting, we are going to discuss the mise-en-scene for our music video. The aspects in the mise-en-scene that I am going to discuss are, clothes/make-up, locations, props, lighting and actors movements/expressions.

For my scene/frame, the mise en scene elements will be noted in the sections below. The full mise en scene for our music video will be available on another post. My scene will be placed when the song comes up for "I need a doctor".

1.0: Clothes/make-up

The clothes to be used in my scene will be white, and floaty/draped. This is because my character is almost dying, and with the use of pale, waft-like clothing, this will give the viewers and impression of death and spirits.

The make-up used for my scene will be pale colours to symbolise that their is no life within me, and i am calling for help, to regain back to life. The colours of make-up used for my scene will be fair colours to match the message.

2.0: Locations

The location used for my frame will be in a dark box/room to give the impression that I am trapped, and I need help to escape. Also, the use of a dark room will give the impression that I am alone, and I am speaking up for sum help.

3.0: Props

The props that are going to be used within my scene in the music video will be clocks in the background. This is to relate to the lyrics "I'm running out of time". This is a important stanza in my part of the song because it shows that I am under pressure, and I don't have much time left to escape.

4.0: Lighting

The lighting used in my scene will be a key and filler light only. This is so the character in the frame will be highlighted from the darkness, and the filler light will help enhance the props used in the background. A back light will not be used in the scene because we want to make the surroundings as dim as possible to symbolize emptyness.

5.0: Actors movements/expressions.

The movements and expressions that I will act out within my music scene will be of pain, distraught, confusion, lost, loneliness and anxiety. These emotions will be portrayed to show the audience the feeling in the protagonist's mind, and to help expose the meaning of the song.
