Our finished music video!!

So after months of changing our idea and not knowing what song we wanted to chose, we finally decided on 'Right Here' - 'Rudimental' and chose to have a psychiatric thriller based video. As a group we honestly had the most fun filming and editing it all together. At times it was very stressful and we was pushed to our limits but I think our outcome shows just how much we wanted to succeed in our coursework side of our Media A-Level. 

As a group we are very imaginative and our ideas developed and changed throughout the months filming and editing. For the flashing in the room, we used 4 different strobe lights on our iPhones. We decided to do this because we felt that the colour of the shots with the light on was too yellow and with the light off was too black. So adding the strobe lights with the lights off, gave a really great effect to our shots, making editing so much more fun and adding a crazy thrilling feel to the video.  

We knew that with our idea, we needed to use mise-en-scene especially to get our audience to understand the narrative. We chose to dress myself in all black, a black leather jacket, black boots and black jeans. This was too stand out from the other scenes of me being a psychiatric patient with mental issues. This costume, hair and makeup, was to give me a 'pop star' look. We then bought white clothing to represent the innocence of the girl but the hair and makeup in these scenes also shows the corruption of the girl. Our choice of mise-en-scene for these shots of me in the park were to show the confusing and mental illness of the girl. We then borrowed a hospital gown for our scenes in Leanne's room, which was painted white for the filming. We knew that if we wanted to create a scene that would represent a psychiatric ward, we would have to be very stereotypical. By this, we had to paint the room white, only use white furniture and bedsheets and then also dress me in a hospital gown, just so the audience could really understand what was going on. 

Each member of the group had a different input into the creation of our music video and by putting all our ideas together we could all be happy with our final product!

So here is our finished music video! I hope you enjoy :)
