Mise-En-Scene - Costume and Setting

After researching into bands of a similar or the same genre of Echotape(indie,) we have decided to dress our band members in skinny jeans, slightly baggy plain t-shirts and casual footwear. We have decided to do this because we feel our band isn’t trying to be something completely different so we wouldn’t dress them in over the top garments. But on the other hand, they are still an indie rock band and we need to portray that in the way that they dress. The actors in our music video need to look relaxed and laid back but still professinal, the costume code we are going to use will adhere to the standard conventions of out music genre. 

For the location, we thought that an outside place would be good, this is because it represents freedom which is a key theme throughout our song. This is one of the places that we decided to look at for shooting. We decided against this location because the road looked dirty on the day we wanted to film, there was also a few buildings in the background and also tractors working in the fields. We felt that these factors would ruin the rise-en-scene.

This next screen shot is from our second location, in the end we chose to film here because the road is longer and straighter meaning that there was more space to film. And it was also a quieter road which resulted in less disturbance from cars and also made for a safer place to film.
