Mise en Scene

Mise-en-scene is very important within a  production; it could make a large visual difference. For the mise-en-scene to be successful, it must attract the target audience of the production, by clothing, props, make-up, location, colour and lighting.  The target audience for our production is teenage females, most likely to be 15 years and over as that is when they are in "high school" (which is also a key location within the production). 

Costume : Casual wear, Cool Wear e.g. Leather Jacket, shirts: 

The costumes within our production were picked to appeal to the teenage audience; young, cool and stylish. It's something that the audience could wear therefore they could relate to it. The costumes such as the iconic leather jacket were also picked to connote the meaning of a "bad" girl.

To represent the "good girl" and to become the opposite, the actress (myself) wears a school like shirt, buttoned to the top and a checked skirt, in able to look studious and well behaved. The prop used is a chalk board to also fit the school theme. 

To make the music video more realistic, as a group we went to a photo-booth in the fashion store 'Urban Outfitters'. As well as filming within the photo-booth, we took a shot of the strip to add to the music video to add the "result". 

Props: Bandanna, Sunglasses, Mobile Phone, Photo Frame, Fashion Magazine, Books.

We chose to use props that would appeal to the target audience and are modern, as well as items that are complimenting to the genre of the music. For example, the bandanna gives the edgy rock look. The members of the band too wear bandannas.
