MARVI NS ROOM ( CANT DO BETTER) - JOJO

Mise En Scene for our music

video
Costumes; Primrose Hill Scene
Male figure:
Knitwear (light coloured so white, cream, burgundy beanies, scarf)
Warm jacket preferably black
Navy blue jeans
Warm boots (Timberlands because they are an iconic brand amongst our young target audience and we
have taken into mind Maslows hierarchy of needs the aspiration part of the theory as our audience will
connect with the character and feel as though they have similarities)
Weve taken in mind that the weather conditions will not be at their best and it will be quite chilly. But
also this gives a reason for the couple to be more intimate and snuggled up together.
Female Protagonist
Straight hair, light make up
Beanie, scarf preferably light neutral colours to represent the female artist as angelic and to reflect how
calm and happy she is with her boyfriend which later contrasts with the darker dress sense which
shows her ulter ego once her and her boyfriend have broken up.
Light skinny jeans
Plain jumper covered by a warm jacket or cardigan and hoop earrings to reflect the more urban style
which are audience can relate to.
Warm boots

Costumes; Bedroom Scene
Pyjamas
Slippers
Vest
Hair up
We have chosen this because its a more voyeuristic
side to the artist that the audience can relate to as
well as become more engaged with the artist because
their bedroom ands that sort of costumes are
familiar to our audience in most cases.

Costumes; Westminster Bridge
The main protagonist will be wearing dark colours
such as black and navy blue because this is the scene
we will be shooting the first chorus of the song which
will create the opening meaning of the whole song.
These colours connotation a more lifeless, dim side
of life and we intend on clothing the main artists
with these colours to reflect the lyrics and to create a
serious mood. This will also create a sinister
atmosphere as these colors will show how the main
artist has changed from the romantic flashbacks in
the first 30 seconds.
Costume; Club Scene
The make up will be dark and glamorous with the
hair being quite big to collaborate with the
glamorous make up. This will contrasts with the
main artists emotions as she will not be feeling
glamorous. The costume will vary from black leather
jeans and a sequin top, to a glamorous midi bodycon
dress and heels. This is just to follow the convention
of typical clothes our audience would expect a
famous artist to wear as well as it is a type of outfit
seen being worn to night clubs most of the time.
Lighting
Through out this video the lighting will
vary from scene to scene depending on
the mood and atmosphere we are trying
to create.
In the 30 second opening scene we will
be having the flashback. In the
flashback the lighting will be very
bright as we intend on filming early in
the morning at Primrose hill where
there is a bit of mist but also the sun
rays hitting the camera lens to create a
bright, airy as if your in heaven sort of
feel. With this we want to reflect the
couples happiness and love before the
break up as binding and eternal to show
how much they mean to each other.
Lighting
At Westminster Bridge the lighting will
be dark as we will be using this time to
reflect how the artist feels once she has
lost her other half. The dark is a binary
opposite of light which we see when the
couple are together. With the dark and
the use of night we intend on
representing the artists darker side of
her personality, to show how she has
become bitter about the new girl that
her ex has left her for.
On the contrary even though it is dark
in general, the bright artificial lights of
the city will clash with the artists
feelings. This will help us create the
idea that life goes on around the artist,
life wont stop because of her
misfortune.
Lighting
In the club scene we will be using artificial lighting
for the flickering to create a sense of confusion in the
bridge going ohhh, ohhhh,ohhhhh to show that the
artist is lost with out her other half and has gone
down the wrong path. This lighting in this location
also reflects how young adults try to relieve
themselves of pain caused by a break up by going to
these urban places compared to Primrose hill where
everythings natural even though it is in an urban
area so it creates conflict between nature vs. packed
city life.
Props
Mobile phones will be used as they are a way of communication so
through out the story line when the broken couple are speaking they
will be speaking through telephone and not real life because they
are avoiding seeing each other but still communicate. In cases such
as break ups its also easier to talk to that person through in direct
communication such as phones so conversation isnt as awkward as
it would be in real life. Mobiles are also a necessity in young adults
lives so it will be something our audience is familiar to.
Vesa came up with the idea that we use wigs during the restaurant
scene with the new girl (the only time the audience get to see her)
on the main artist to show an ulter ego that haunts her ex.
The bed in the main artists room will be used for the artist to sit on
in the bedroom scene when she is explaining how she feels. The bed
also represents all the intimate moments they had together.


Make Up
The make up will continuously change through out the story
line. We will have light make up on both characters to make
them look angelic so having light blusher on them, long
eyelashes on the female artist and matte foundation on both
of them so they blend in with the natural airy background.
In more intense scenes such as the club and Westminster
bridge scene, Nasrine suggested the artist will have dark make
up to bring out her ulter ego, the darker side to her to reflect
what she has become since her break up.
The hairstyles of the artist will depend on the scene and the
atmosphere. In the bedroom scene the artists hair will be up
to show that she is in the comfort of her own home and she
doesnt want to put effort in as she is too distraught. In the
club however she will have big curls to try and discise her hurt
through her hard outer layer.
