Mise-en-Scene

Lighting
The lighting in the video will be mostly natural as a lot of it will be filmed outside. This is similar to other Indie Rock promos, because they don't usually have a lot of money to spend on a studio or lots of lighting so they use natural light.

We will use better lighting for the performance and any indoor shots as it will be dark otherwise, but it will also make for some ambient lighting which will create a nice effect. This also adheres to similar promos as the lighting isn't really bright, it is a bit darker. Furthermore, the song is actually about a relationship breakup which, although we will not clearly portray it, the dark lighting will emphasise that sadness during some scenes. 

Props
We chose to use the guitars, drums and microphone in our music video because Indie Rock promos normally feature a performance by the band which features drums and guitars. We chose the instruments based on what the actual band used for the song, which gives it a more realistic feel to the video.

Furthermore, we chose to use the football and the game controller because they related to our idea for the music video being about living your life. Playing both football and video games are 'normal' day to day activities for young men, so we decided to feature those but add a more fun element to it by playing them in the costumes.

Costume
For the 'fun' part of our promo where the band are playing football and doing other normal activities, they are wearing food costumes. These include a pizza, a burger, a hot dog and a packet of chips. We chose these costumes because they relate to the song, 'Junk Food Forever', and we thought that it would make the video funny.


During the performance part of the promo the band will be wearing casual clothes like jeans and jumpers. The lead vocalist will be wearing a leather jacket to illustrate the lyrics 'Jackets and leather'. The actual band wear similar clothing to this, and it also adheres to the typical clothing in Indie Rock promos as they aren't as bothered about the video as they are about the song.
