2) Mise-En-Scene

Setting:

The setting allows the audience to become aware of the atmosphere and environment the video is based around; the setting is basically the foundations for our music video. The music video will be set during the evening, just as the streetlights turn on. It will begin with a number of shots focusing around a group of boys getting ready, in a typical teenage boys bedroom, for a night out in the town. We will then cut to shots showing a similar situation, but this time it will include a group a girls getting ready in a teenage girls bedroom. The idea of these two shots will ultimately allow the audience to see and follow the process, in both sexes getting ready for a night out. This is something that the audience can relate to and clear comparisons can be made between both the audience and the narrative of the storyline. We could have a typical party scene just before they go out. For example the girls can be doing hair and make up, whilst the boys are drinking and playing on the Xbox. Similar to the black eyed peas song "i Got a feeling" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScDrB6ud8u0

The following shots will be of a conversation between the main characters via a computer. we thought that if we had a web cam on we could see the 2 groups getting ready in the back ground. The girl then says to the boy "are u going out 2 night?" then signs out. This then cuts to a scene of the girls leaving the house and getting on a bus. After a quick descusion the boys gather there stuff and jump in the car. As the boys drive off, the shot changes to the girls coming out of their house and making their way down a residential street towards a bus station. The setting will then change and focus on showing both the boys and girls journeys to their destinations. This will involve driving through main high streets (preferably Brighton) and filming their drive. As the filming will be set in the evening, we will be able to capture the nightlife of Brighton, which will add to the realness and visualisation of our video.

The first part of the music video will be showing boys and girls getting ready to go out. The setting will be of boys room, possible mine, this will then cut to the next scene of a girls room, Becca's. We could have a typical party scene just before they go out. For example the girls can be doing hair and make up, whilst the boys are drinking and playing on the Xbox.

We will also be filming on the streets of Brighton to replicate an authentic club scene.

Here are a few test shots of possible filming locations

We really liked the idea of filming on Brighton Pier as it had loads of familiar settings and really created a good night scene with all of the lights. We did however realise that as it got darker it would become more difficult to film.
