Mise en scene

• Location

For the location we have chosen an available attached 4 story house that is modern on the inside, it is also close to the town centre for good access for cast and crew. This location is also suitable to out need because there is a lot of spare space to work with and that will not be an issue. One of the rooms in the house is what we imaged when planning out initial ideas, there is a double bed next to a window with blinds , so we can create the effect we are after with the moon light coming in through the window. We could use the en suite bathroom to an advantage as a prop or an entry/exit point in some shots.

The second location in the house we would use is the kitchen. this is a long, modern kitchen with, again, plenty of space and good lighting to film in. This would also fit the bill as it is in the same house as the other filming location and it would be easier for the actors to relate and build there character more being in the same house.

In the video, the main actor closes his eyes to enter a dream like situation, in a white bleached out space, just like the Matrix. We had the idea of using the photography studio as this gives us to the opportunity to have a brilliant white background and good range of lighting too.

The forth location we need has to be somewhere busy and have a vast amount of people. for this we though of filming somewhere in central London as this will able the audience to relate to the place where the story will be told. it would be even better if we could film somewhere where the London Eye would be n shot, for example Westminster Bridge. For this location we may need to get special permission to film in, so this location is conditional. However if we can't film in London, our next best idea location would be Brighton.

• Costume and Make-up

We want the video to relate to the general population but more importantly the main fan base of Feeder. after doing some research and watching some videos we discovered that casual clothes are the most popular choice of clothing, therefore we will make the actors in the videos just wear casual, normal clothing to fit the image of the genre of music as well as the fan base. However in the 'dream like' situation mentioned above will will require the main actor to dress in all black to emphasis the change of mood and normality.

We will use just subtle make-up in our video to keep with the normal casual theme. this will ensure a fresh look to hide unwanted blemishes and help keep the glaze on actors faces down if we use additional lighting.

• Use of colour

For the video we want to keep the number of bright colour to to a minimum. This will in turn be more appropriate for the lyrics and the story behind the song, however in the 'Dream like situation' we want contrast so we will make the actor wear black, against a white background. Also for the crowded scene in London we would make the main actor wear bright clothing to stand out from the crowd, instead of the audience being a bit confused to what is going on.

• Props

We wont be needing any major props, just everyday items such a mobile phones, breakfast, newspapers (for the morning kitchen scene). Further on down the line I will think of other props to include, such as personal items that will give the audience more of an insight into the lives of the female and male characters.
