Mise-on-scene

Location

For the location the group and I had a discussion about where would be the most appropriate for what we wanted to be in the video, and for it to be as simple as possible as we would have a large number of props. After the discussion we decided that the best place to shoot the video would be at my house (Campbell’s) this is because I live in an area where I have exclusive access to a barn where we could shoot and adapt the area to whatever we needed it to be with any small adjustments. Another reason that we decided that the best place to shoot was at my house was that in the land there is a big set of woods where in which we could create the necessary scene that we wanted.

Props

As I mentioned within the location section we will need a large number of props throughout are video that will give it the specific look that we want to achieve. Firstly we will be need a stage, on which will be our singer. She will be standing on the stage throughout a huge proportion of the video. We will easily be able to get this stage as I have the perfect stage roughly 1.5 foot high and approximately 10m by 7-8m. Another prop that we will need within the video is a piano. We need this piano for our singer to be playing through the start of the song and to have as number of different shots through the first verse where the tempo of the music is still slow and highly piano orientated. We will be able to get this piano from a number of different sources depending on timings and prices to rent one. Finally one of our most important props that we will need is the UV paint which we will buy from the internet and will use through the video in order to give the video a rave look about it.

Costume and make up

For the video we want to have a new rave like scene, therefore through our video we will sort out appropriate costumes that give the look we want. We will do this by using our own knowledge on what the statement new rave means to us. Also I will be doing some research towards what other people associate new rave with.
As for the makeup as within our group we are 3 men we don’t have a clue about how the make up should be done, however our singer will know exactly how and what sort of make up she would where if she was going out or indeed creating a music video. We will however tell her what we are looking for throughout the video make up wise.
