Mise-en-scene

Costume
Our genre of our music video is Alternative Rock to get that image across through the costume we want our band to wear, darkish clothes so black tops, jeans and maybe converse shoes. This type of clothing is similar to the indie bands that we have analysed so matching that image will appeal to the target audience, as its what they would expect from our band to be wearing, plus this type of clothing is the type of clothing worn by our generation of teenagers. Having the band wearing similar clothing to our target audience makes a connection between both band and audience which is what we want from our music video.



Props 
The props we are going to use in our musci video would consist of a full band setup so drums bass microphone and a guitar. We will be using these props as these are the main props that are used in all music videos we have analysed. Having the instruments in our music video communticates the genre of our song and our music video is a performance video so we have to have some shots of the band actually playing their instrumnets like they would in a live performnace. Including the insturments in our piece also reprents the genre and matches the other indie rock music videos which is what the target audince expect from a indie rock music video.

Lighting 
The lighting we are going to use in our musci vdideo will just be ordinary white lights that we be focussed on band just like they would in a live performnace. Having these low key dullish lights contributes to the style of video as indie bands are osscaited with independent labels which dont really have large budgets so they would have simplitic lights in their music videos and live performnaces and as we are filimg the band perform so we would also have to have the dull lights. Having these props also communicates the genre of the piece which appeals to the target audience.

During our music video we will have 3 different locations where the band are performing. A bedroom, a recording studio and on a stage. They will use the props above to perform. When the band are in the bedroom they will be jotting down ideas for writing a song so further props will include-

Crew List

The crew consists of all 3 of our group. We will all be dividing tasks up between us but also having our own input on every aspect. Here is what each of us are focusing on:

• Adam: Filming
• James: Filming
• Lyle: Editing

Having one person focused on editing means they can start to edit the music video while other people in the group continue to film. Post production takes longer than production sometimes so this will be beneficaial. 

During filming we are planning to film much more footage than we are expecting to need. This will allow us to choose a variety of different ideas during post production and if there any techincal problems this will help with for example, a loss of footge.

Feedback From propsal

Our proposal interview with Miss Dolby went really well as we managed to get across our idea and what we kind of wanted to do, however she did say that we need to research into the song we want to do  into more depth as we need to understand what kooks fans like about the music videos the band creates. We also need to look at the lyrics line by line so we can understand some of the shots we want to include in our music video.
