mise en scene ideas

In terms of mise en scene ideas such as costumes and props I have decided to create various mood boards for my ideas.


Costume 
In terms of costume for both my male and female actors I want them to be dressed in fairly plain colours such as white, black and navy, as I want them to look just like ordinary people and keep with my theme of using black and white filters throughout my video. Also I want Dan to wear converse trainers as they keep with the idea of the casual look and they are a well known brand the audience will recognise and can look rough and worn in, which adds to the idea of Dan being a 'mess' which therefore has a direct link to the lyrics and title of the song. From my mood board above I have put up images of jeans and legging both for Dan and Zoe because these are recognised as everyday items of clothing not stereotyping them as something glamorous but rather ordinary and can be relatable.



Location 
For location I want several locations to keep my audience interested, however I want each location to be quite urban and built up as shown in my mood board above. Specific locations that I want in my video are a train station, built up housing estate, main road and a brick wall. All these locations are easy accessible and are public therefore will not need to gain permission to use the locations. Once again similar to my costume ideas I want urban locations because they link well to the aesthetic of the video and help the audience understand the genre if the video as indie pop artists do not have a large budget to make videos like pop artists who can pay lots of money for studios to get more of a high end looking video. 

My initial ideas for my video in terms of mise en scene are quite simple for example with the female actress I want her to be as natural as possible in terms of hair and make up. When it comes to filming I will just ask my actress to wear her everyday make up and have her hair down usually how she would have it normally. Therefore there is no specific planning for the hair and make up side of the the video as my actor will not wear make up and my actress will just have natural make up on, so I do not need to practise any make up trials or hair styles for my video.
