Mise-en-scene ideas

For the Mise-en-scene aspect of our video, we thought of a variety of ideas.

Lighting:

We had the idea that the main character should be woken up by rays of the morning sun shining through the curtains onto his face. We would need to position the lighting carefully to get this desired effect.

We all feel that we're going to need to rely on lighting a lot more with Music Video, than we did with our Thriller, as we cannot rely on the sun to shine in the desired location at the time we need, therefore, we will have to create our own light source using the lighting we have been given.

Camerawork:

We thought that for Camerawork, we're going to use both close-ups and long-shots with the intention of trying to use a contrast of shots in quick succession of each other, to portray the characters state of mind or general mood/feeling during a hangover.

The long-shots are going to be used to emphasise the surrounding mess and show how alone he is after the party, because everyone is either asleep or passed out.

Costume & Props:

We thought that for the costume, we should just be dressed as 'hipsters' which would include wearing as much as vintage clothing as possible.

The props will include empty beer bottles and cans and a Jack Daniel's bottle which will probably be featuring throughout our music video.
