Colours of Mise En Scene

The many lightbulbs hanging are flashing greens, blues and white, but when they are not lit the space is dark and mysterious. It could even be leading the audience into the mind of the band, inviting to share the space with the preformers. There is a black backdrop with the colourful hanging bulbs, strip LED's at the back shinging out mellow blues and then the band who are brightly dressed with no particular colour scheme. The space has Inquisative but dark feel to it, but with the brighter colourded band in the middle there is a sense of aspiring positivity balancing out the negative vibes of the space.

Narrative

This video does not intercut a narrative, it is just performence based. A narrative could have given a wider insight to what the band is about, but at the same time without it promotes the raw style of the band. "Preforming is what we do" It is truthful and pure as there is no missleading plot to glorify or commercialize the band.

Use of Symbolic Material

Lots of different light bulbs were used, possibly to suggest that this dark, interesting and flashing place represents someone's mind. The lightbulbs could refer to many themes- ideas, fading in fading out of reality, different emotions, thaught, depression, positivity, hope. A light bulb hanging in the middle of a black dark space. It is a pretty powerful image that can represent many things, and the song enhanses these themes, giving it a very inquisitive and questioning feel to the video.

Breaking the Rules of Camera Work-

We used some very fast moving camera shots to create a sense of disorientation and rush. Such shots are not conventional in normal cinema, which adds to the band's organic/rebelling and youthful image. The images are also unclear, dark and distorted to further this sense of bewilderment.

Mise En Scene

MISE EN SCENE: USE OF LIGHTING-
Mysterious, disjointed, dark and light flashing, all of which create a theme of confusion, dissillutionment and uncertainty. It is as if the band has problems which they are sharing with the audience but they are being positive about it and making things better through the peformence of the song. "Light at the end of the tunnel" This is quite ironic, that the dark/flashing environment can still produce something positive.

Our band is very organic, so the Video is too. There is no narrative, just performance, because we wanted to reinforce the raw and genuine feel of the band through there chemisty when they play together and the performence they put on.

COMMERCIAL EXHIBITIONIST:
The video is all about her sexuality, inviting people into her world for a sexual connection, making an audience lust for her. She wears very little clothing throughout and there are themes of money, corrupt, sex, violence and even a hints of rape. The video is very manufactured and malipulated by the record companies, heavy themes of fation throughout, it is a very hight budget commercial video.
