Mise-en-scene of shots

Beach shot: In these shots, our artist will wear an elegant styled coat. The elegance will help represent the feminism of the narrative and the coat help represent the cold attitude coming from our artist. Her hair will be down, again reinforcing the feminism, with overall subtle make-up with additional emphasise on the eyes. There will also be a wind effect upon our artist, firstly because at the time of filming it will be windy, but also because it’s a characteristic of this type of narrative and genre. It will be in black and white to represent the emotion of the narrative.

The shots of the male and his new female will be shot in ambient lighting to represent the realistic view. This shot will also be shot in black and white, not only to represent to mood but to also show it’s a flashback. Both characters will be dressed in casual clothing, e.g. jeans, tops etc. The females’ hair will be down, and will also be the opposite colour of artists to ensure the message is clear that this is another woman. Her make-up will be remotely subtle.

The shot of our artist and her friends will also be shot in ambient lighting to show the realism in the devastation she feels once finding out she’s been cheated on. The friends will wear casual clothing, such as jeans etc. Whereas our artist will be wearing more casual relaxed clothing, such as joggers, a hoodie etc, to represent this stage where she can’t be bothered and doesn’t feel like making an effort as she just feels too distraught. This as well could be a factor in which other girls can relate to – it’s important to reach out and relate to your target audience in order for your video to be successful. All the girls’ makeup will be very subtle to show the comfortability level they have around each other.
