Misé en scene

Misé en scene is a french term for pretty much everything you see in a shot!

It's incredible how much detail is put into the creation of settings. Everything is chosen specifically to convey certain emotions and feelings which normally all are correspondant to the films genre.

An example of how a simple concept can be conveyed in contrasting ways is with the example of a tree. By stripping away the leaves, adding thunder, set at night time, and including a vulture can show that this scene is sinister and would be mostly recognised in a horror.

On the other hand, by having full bushed green leaves, sunny weather and happy laughing children playing underneath shows hapiness and positive emotions.

An easy way of remembering the definition is; EVERYTHING IN THE SCENE

Neon Tress

Neon trees falls under the American Rock genre, but the song we have chosen mainly consists of love and emotion so we will be choosing the props, locations, costume, shots and everything in the video accordingly. The ambience and aura we want to convey also has to be taken into consideration, an example of this will be reflected in the clothes which will mostly be simplistic so this doesn't retract/draw the audiences attention away from the storyline itself.
