Mise en scene

The mise en scene we are planning on using will have conventions of indie artists. Our actor will be wearing dark blue jeans and a grey hoodie. This should connote originality and not follow the mainstream style of clothing that is found in shops such as Topman, Burton and River Island. The costume is simple but effective. The use of a guitar is also an indie convention. The guitar represents music and we aim to show that the music is a significant part of the artists life by having the artist play or carry the guitar throughout our video. The case of the guitar is also important. We have chosen a plain black case. This reinforces the idea of the music being more important than the look. The case will be shown in some of the busking shots. I am also planning to maintain this trend in the digi pack. When our artist is busking we won't be using a microphone, to show that the artist's music is pure. Our actor has also agreed to grow a beard. Many indie artists have beards, only the men obviously, and we thought that it fits the indie tone we are trying to create.
