Mise-en-scene

Setting and Lighting
We are filming in two separate locations. The first location will be held at Georgia's house in Bourne. We decided to film here as part of our music video production because the style of rooms goes well with the 1950's theme we're going for. This includes the antique furniture and it being a Edwardian house. The vintage styled rooms will be helpful for us to create the 50's theme with simple editing steps. There are specific rooms which we want film in, they include the living room, the hallway, conservantry and possibly the dining room.

The second location where we will be filming will be a the beech, this is where the girl's transition happens, her style evolves and she breaks free from the end of a troubled relationship. We think here will be an ideal area to film in because it a clearly states the meaning and represents her moving away from her troubles. Here show two rooms that we will film most in Georgia's house where lighting is best and has a lot of the props that will be helpful to us.

Costume & Hair
We decided to follow the 50's theme for our music video. In terms of the costume we'll go with the 50's style. The first outfit idea was for Georgia (our actress) to be wearing a white dress and black shoes. Her hair and makeup will be styled to around this time as well. In addition to this we have looked at celebrities that follow a similar style to the 50's era. For example we looked at Lana Del Rey and Veronica Lake's style, we will curl Georgia's hair to follow a similar style and she will do her makeup to follow  the style.
In the second outfit change There will be changes to her style making look more Lana Del Rey inspired, and showing a slightly more rebellious look. Which will represent meaning of the lyrics. She will also have red lipstick on which will follow this slightly rebellious look.  Here two similar outfits which we will use in our music video, we looked a Lana Del Rey mainly because her style often follows the 50's/60's theme which helps us to get our inspiration.

Our second costume will change to make her style look more modern; we found an image of Lana Del Rey which inspired this look and it shows a slightly more rebellious look compared to the pure white dress before. She will be wearing black jeans, a leather jacket and her makeup will be a more modern style. It will represent our interpretation of the lyrics which is that she has an abusive boyfriend and she begins to remove her jewellery and heavy makeup which she wore for him to be more natural and modern.

Props
A lot of the main props we will use are already in Georgia's house. That includes the antique ornaments and furniture. We are also planning on using items of jewellery and a jewellery box where she will remove the jewellery and put it all away like she is closing a chapter of her life with an ex partner and moving on. We thought this would link effectively to the song since the song is called 'gem' it has a clear reference. The furniture and ornaments set the theme well as we are going for a 50's theme, means this will be clearer to the audience. In her transition part of the video she will follow a more retro style, including a black leather jack and a red lipstick this connotes a more rebellious style which is appropriate for this song because it show her to be a strong woman. The images below are images of rooms and ornaments around Georgia's house that we will include in our music video.
