mise-en-scene

setting/location


My music video will be set on the streets with the camera following the actor while walking through an housing estate.There will also be a shot in a studio. For both of these i will be shooting different shots and angles so i have a lot of different angles to use in my video. Shooting the music video in a housing estate is meant to give it a ruff feel and make it fit in with the UK garage image. Shooting part of it in the studio is very important i think as the audience will be seeing the gritty part of the UK garage scene but at the same time will see that they are in a studio making it happen.

Costume

The actor that is playing Mike Skinner in my video will be wearing fashionable clothes for the type of music this is and will be modeled on mike skinner and what he wears. His style is very relaxed and a bit scruffy but at the same time he wears designer labels. This relates to the genre of music that it is. My actor will be wearing different things in the studio and street scenes as this will show that they where done at different times. as i thought about having it all done in the same costume so it looks like he is walking to the studio but then i didn't really like that idea.

Props

Apart from all the mics in the studio then there is not much that is going to be used. In the street shot there will be a cigerette used. This will show the urban feel that lots of The Streets music videos have.
