Decisions

Within this document I will be discussing my shortlist of the different features within my music video. Features such as Mise-en-scene, actors and costumes

Mise-en-scene

Dark eerie feel to the video which doesn't really go along with my genre and its target audience. as POP songs are very much upbeat this won't appeal to the target audience mainly being teenage girls. for this reason I have elected not to choose this Type of Mise-en-scene as music videos are marketing tools for the song. This will mean that the song won't sell to the specific target audience of teenage girls.

Bright coloured scenery will be used a little bit in my music video when the actor reflects on the time he spent with the girl he loves which shows happiness and warmth when he thinks of her. but when the video cuts back to reality it goes back to being darker and sad which then reflects how he is feeling in reality.

Actors

For my music video I will need 2 actors. One male and one female. The male actor with have a much larger role within my music video because originally I decided to have more than one narrative being shown throughout the music video but then decided that I will have just one narrative as this means that the audience will then be able to develop a much deeper relationship with the characters unlike the relationship with the characters if I have more than one narrative this means that the audience won’t feel as involved In the song or feel like they know the characteristics and emotions of the each character.

Costumes

As my target audience of my music video is the general teenage girl population this means that I will have to use clothes that a fashionable in the present day. Otherwise the target audience won’t be able to relate to the music video which in turn will make them less interested in the music video. Therefore not allowing the song to reach its full potential when it is either available to be downloaded online from apps such as iTunes or in shops such as HMV
