Blog 10 Mise-en-scene

After looking at different Green Day's videos and other similar punk bands,we saw that most videos consist of band performance and a story.We decided our video to be simple as possible - including a few people and locations. The locations we choose are in Lewes(near our college) and a few inside the college such as the buttery in on of the buildings and some corridors. We found a few alleys near the college and the train station which we thought would be good for our video and will associate with the punk genre.
Below you can see some of the locations we chose to shoot our video at:

This is one of the corridors in one of the college's buildings.Here we will shoot some scenes with the girl walking down the corridor or looking straight at the camera,when the band sings the lyrics '..whatsername again'.It will be a close up shot which will represent the emotions of the girl and the audience will get to know her better.


This is a picture of the buttery in one of the buildings.This scene will be when the boy has flashbacks of him and the girl being together.Both of them will be wearing casual clothes such as leather jacket for the girl and jeans or casual purple dress.The boy will be dressed in black - black jacket,hat,glasses and jeans.These costumes will contribute to the representation of the punk genre as most punk artist wear dark and leather clothes.Low-key lighting will be used when the boy wakes up and realises he's alone and the flashbacks will be either in black and white or high-key lighting which will represent happiness.



This picture shows the main road between the 2 buildings of Lewes college.Here will be shot the first scene where the boy and girl meet(as a flashback).Then he will wake up in the buttery as I explained in the above picture.The costumes of the characters wil be the same-leather jacket for the girl and black clothes for the boy.These road locations will contribute to the punk genre as most punk/rock videos are filmed outside on the streets or in woods/alleys.



This is a shot of the girl which will be in the video.We will not use heavy make-up as most female punk artist do,as we want to concentrate on her naturality.However the make-up we will use will be black eye-liner/black mascara and foundation.She will be wearing different costumes in the scenes.


This picture of the lake and the surrounding trees will be one of our locations.This wood atmosphere will link and contribute to the punk genre and also the name of the band 'Green Day'.Here we will take some shots of the boy burning photos of him and the girl being together.This location is perfect for the boy burning the photos and expressing his feelings as nobody else will be there.The reason we chose this location is because it represents the wild and at the same time relaxing atmosphere.
