Mise-en-scene for my music video

-

 Props

The prop with the most significance in the music video will be the protagonist's suicide note which is recited as the song throughout the video and can be re-read by another character featured in the video to symbolise that this cycle may continue or that someone will finally take a stand and protest this issue and help to try and get it resolved.

Lighting 

The lighting of my music video should be a dark and cold colour this is in order to convey to the audience the idea of isolation and the feeling of loneliness that many of those who suffer from mental health issues feel on a day to day basis. The dark lighting also helps to emphasise the intensity of the situation that is portrayed in the music video.

costume

The costume of the protagonist will consist of a black clothing which reflect his inner feelings to the audience, he will be wearing a hoodie and some jogging bottoms as this can give off the idea that he no longer cares about his appearance and what others think of him, others in the music video will be dressed in clean and neat clothes varying in colour as to represent how they are feeling fine in order to contrast the protagonist's feelings. 

Protagonist                                                                                       

  • Hoodie (Black)
  • Black jeans or Jogging bottoms 
  • Black trainers
  • Baseball cap (Black)-optional

colour

The colour of the main location is a blue so this should in theory add to the sad and depressing tone of the song and the music video itself, and the video itself I will attempt to make darker itself as to add to the gritty and intense feeling of the music video.

Location 

The majority of the music video takes place within the protagonist's bedroom, this becomes a place where he can release all his emotions without the judgement of his friends and family which then later becomes his final resting place as he allow his emotions to take over and drives him to kill himself in the end of the music video.

An example of a good use of Mise-en-scene within a music video is that of "It's oh so quiet" by Bjork, as it demonstrates how Mise-en-scene can create and change the mood and atmosphere within a performance. An example of this present in the video is when the music reaches a crescendo the lighting becomes brighter and more vibrant in order to represent the idea of being in love. 

Location: 2686 Lom, Norway

Analysis of Black by Dave

-
Image
Black by Dave Dave was born David Orobosa Omoregie on the 5th of June in 1998 in England to Edo immigrant parents.  The music video itself is a narrative\experimental video as it shows a variety of different scenes where they show different scenarios which when put together tell an overall narrative to the story. The video was released in February of 2019 around the time of major black lives matter movements, the video then became all the more prominent with the murder of George Floyd. The video provides an insight into how it feels like to be black in a modern world society which can be inferred by the lyrics for example, "The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice, a kid dies, the blacker the killer the sweeter the news", this clearly highlights the discrimination that black people face from the media and how they are portrayed within such platforms. The opening title is a simplistic design of which i would like to try and replicate within my own music video. The camerawor

Why study the media

Why study the media The media in our society is ever growing and changing to new horizons and in turn increasing its influence and hold over everyone especially the younger generation of whom are the easiest to influence. Though before we may have received our information and news from somewhat “trustworthy” sources such as newspapers and newsletters however in the growing digital age everyone can now publish their own opinions and sway people to their side which could be good under the right circumstances however like everything it can lead to controversy. I believe we should study the media because of its growing hold over our society. For example, consider the fact that long since gone diseases in our developed cities such as measles have been popping back up because many people believed that the commonly used vaccines would lead to autism despite there being increase in cases of autism due to the vaccines. They believed this because of one article published online eluding t

Plan B-Ill manors analysis

Plan B-Ill manors analysis Plan B himself was kicked out of school during year 10 where he was sent to a pupil referral unit this is where all those who deemed unsuited to school were sent. In this unit they all had no respect for authority as they had felt ignored by the society that had kicked them out of school and alienated them into a separate unit segregated from other people.This eventually led the kids in the referral unit being, in a sense, raised by the music which they listened to which in the case of Plan B (Ben) led to wanting a career within the musical field which he at first starting singing as he drew influence from Timberlake however he ultimately felt the most comfortable when he was rapping hence why most of his songs are rap songs. The narrative structure is non-linear to show the chaos that is ever presented during their lives living the estates. This can be contributed to fast editing transitions which make the audience feel the tension of their lives. The m
