The fifteen points of miss en scene

There are fifteen key features that directors tend to look at the most when composing a clip of an image which has a mise en scene. They are:

1. Dominent's

2. Lighting Key

3. Shot and camera Proxemics

4. Angle

5. Colour Values

6. Lens/Filter/stock

7.Subsidery contrast

8. Density

9. Composition

10. Form 

11. Framing

12. Depth

14. Character placement

15. Staging Positions

By using these main concepts and including them in my imagery work i will try to create images and shots at a professional standard.

I will also try and stuck to the rule of thirds as a lot of the shots that i have planned to do are off centre. e.g

I think this is an important expect of a music video as it can make the difference between a shot looking professional or ordinary. 

Lighting

Key Light

• The key is the brightest light and casts the primary shadows, giving a sense of direction to the lighting.

Fill Light

• The main function of the fill light is to fill in the shadows produced by the key light without casting a distinct shadow of its own.

Backlight

• Backlights, sometimes called hair, rim or edge lights, are placed on the opposite side of the subject from the camera, high enough to be out of view.

Set Light

• A fourth basic light, the set light, may be used to illuminate the background. Usually the background is partly lit by the key and fill lights, as well as by several set lights.

Lighting Styles

• Lighting choices should be made before beginning to film, and should be based on the lighting style you hope to achieve.

  When filming i found that buy moving the camera so that a small burst of sun would come out from directly behind the artists head instead of using it solely as a back light you could create a camera flare that looks really effective and vibrant. It also really captures the audiences attention.

 

Final Cut

We've begun to edit our music video. The software 'Final Cut' is fun to use and is useful for when very specific cuts need to be made. By collaborating all of the different types of shots with this software I have been able to start creating the first couple of seconds. This software means that all of the groups using it are able to create a good quality music video with all of the conventions that would be found in a professionally produced videos.

I created this album cover for our group. by blurring the background behindd the images of the artists. the main purpose for this is to make the the focus of t emblem cover. By doing this the audience are albei to identify that they are the mian artists of this album. the image is black and white because i tried to give it a classes look. all three of the artists are in the same position. a code for unity. I made the miss en scene be a natural setting because it gives the idea that they are  natural talent, that they are a free and easy group of people.

Final Album Design

For this album i chose to use the images of the ducks kissing. Codes that are produced from this image from an audiences point of view are love, playfullness, innocence and child hood sweet hearts (assuming children play with ducks. On the back cover of tha album the image of the ducks going off into the distance give the audience a snese of hope and a futurefor these ducks and for the relashionship between them. The conventions that are found on both of the front and the back of the album are :

• Album name
• Artsist name
• Barcode
• Song titles
• Copywrite and email information
• linking back cover and front cover

There are some things on this cover that are needed to be changed. Firstly The audience that have to be able to distinguish between the main artist and the title of the album. So I need to find away to do this. One thing i could do is change the size of the band name, or pace there further apart, with the artist/band name at the top.
On the back cover of the cd cover the main problem is that the tracks ae to hard to see, you cant make out the name of the track properly. This is something that may take the appeal of the cd cover away.
