Costumes and Mis En Scene

For our video we thought that the mis en scene that we use is very important to make the music video look proffesional. For this we thought that we were going to follow the all black theme throughout the video as this is what a lot of the conventional girlbands use. However we thought that in the video we needed to add a bit of colour as this would contrast nicely with the black that we used throughout the starting of the video. We decided that as we were a girl band we were going to try and make it more girly by going for the colour pink. Therefore we decided that we were going to paint 2 flat boards pink so that we could then wear the clothing colour pink and it would match with the backgrounds that we painted to use. We decided that we were going to use a different colour pink for the clothing as we used for the backgrounds, this was because then there would be a contrast as i think that it would look better and look more proffesional.

Me, Kirsty, Christie and Charlotte decided before we began the project that we were going to use fake money because the theme of the song that we are using is the idea that money is nothing, as in the video Lady Gaga burns money as if it is meaningless.

We also hired a fog machine to make our music video look more professional, we wanted it to look as though we had put a lot of thought into the way that we wanted it to be recorded and we thought that the fog machine would make the shots look a lot more affective.

Also we decided that for the costumes other than the pink costumes that we were going to use we decided that we wanted the rest of the music video to be mainly in black, this is because it is seen as sexy and provocative. Also we wanted to be as matching as possible with the
colours. However we did want to be wearing different outfits as we thought this would look more affective than having exactly the same matching outfits on.
