The term setting means the place or surrounding areas where an event is taking place. For example, the setting could be a town centre.
What settings do you want to use in your video? Keep in mind that setting can refer to 1) The time of day/season/year/decade/era and of course the actual physical locations. For example, a bedroom or a shopping center are as much a 'setting' as The Middle Ages, or during WW2 or the future.
For our music video we plan on using three major locations which will include Wymondham Abbey, Wymondham Church and Wymondham Train station in order to create variation in heights, camera angles and scenery in the background of the actor. The time of day will vary we will be using night and day so that the audience can see that the pain the character is suffering no matter what time of day. We will be doing it in present day rather than putting it back in the past because we think it is more suited to a young teen in the twenty first century. The year will be two thousand and eighteen because we want to create a modern music video rather than a older based music video.
Why are you wanting to create these settings? How will they create a mise-en-scene? How are they at all relevant to the style of music and lyrics?
We want to create this setting because it fits in with the story line we have planned and it allows us to have a variety of choices of setting therefore it isn't boring to watch. By doing this we are able to include several settings which will hopefully get the audiences attraction more. Having this setting it gives us a lot of space to work with therefore we aren't in a compact area so there will be space for props and gives us more options with how we want certain shots to be arranged. The mise en scene will be created through the setting because we will be using natural lighting. The props we will be using will just be printed photos of the main character with his girlfriend that will be burnt to so the audience can see that she is out of his life now and left his life. The song we have chosen is based on someone leaving someone and wondering where they have gone therefore by having the countryside area with a river, a church and a train station it allows us to create a music video with signs of loneliness due to all the different heights in the countryside. Also some of the actions that will be shown on the music video will be linked to the lyrics, for example the chorus part of running the actor will be running so that it shows we have taken the lyrics into consideration.
Document organisation of your settings, eg-screengrab emails booking locations etc.
With our settings we will not need to book anything therefore we have no emails to show, we are able to use these three locations on a day best fitted to us to film our music video.
Sketches of how you want your locations to look
These sketches are currently a rough idea of what we want to have so by having the countryside and the train track allows us to work with all kinds of angles and heights.
