Music Video Planning- Media Language - Sound and Mise en scene

Sound

In our music video, we are not going to have any dialogue as it is a music video, and it is uncommon for dialouge to be used. Also it would detract from the song. We may try to include some camera sound effects for the shots with the photographs, but this will depend on how the song fits with the images, and if the sound effects work with the song. Our main sound in the video will be the song. Erica Shine's 'I will wait for you'.

Mise en Scene

For our video, we are going to have a relatively bright look with use of bright colours to reflect the artists innocent and harmless image. We will have the actors dressed like average teenagers, in fashionable clothing that is not from any particular stereotype. The girls bedroom will be girly colours such as pink or lilac and white, to show that she is a 'girly girl' and to add to the innocent look. The boys bedroom will be more boyish colours such as blue and green. The girls bedroom should be relatively tidy and clean to represent her innocent and girly character. The girl will wear bright colours and jewellery to create a pretty look and also to create her innocent image. The boy will wear a simple outfit such as jeans and a shirt, and will also dress to look clean and also relatively innocent. The mise en scene of the street and photo booth will be just whatever is there at the time including other people, cars and objects. This does not matter though, as we can edit the colours using Final Cut to create a bright look, and the other objects will just add to the 'normal' look of the street. Overall, we will try to keep our mise en scene bright, colourful and clean looking, however, for the outdoor shots we will use a slightly grittier look to create realism.
