When We first started filming, we didnt really focus on Mise en scene, it wasnt really our main concern.
Then when we started editing, we realised that there was alot of Mise en scene used in our video.
In the beginning of the video, Syed is lip synching alone a bridge.
This was a good location to use because there was know one else on the bridge and it worked well with the whole concept of the video and what we were trying to get across by making sure there was know one else around when we started filming..
By Syed being alone on the bridge, you can see that he is lonely, there is not a single person in sight.
Another reason why the bridge was a good place to shoot the opening of our video is because usually when you watch films and people are upset or need time to think, they tend to glo for walks, most times they go for walks over bridges or just stand on a bridge and either gaze down in to the water or just gaze on into the distance..
Another shot where Mise en scene plays a major role, is the shot where Syed and are I in the park.
The reasoon why we used a park is because couples tend to go to parks together, either to have fun or to just be alone and enjoy eachothers company.
This shot was a reminising shot and shows Syed and I on a swing laughing, joking and having fun.
There is another shot just outside of the two of us linking and walking down a path.
This works well because the location was quiet nice because of the trees, it looked realistic, whereas if we were walking down any randomn street with loads of cars and randomn things in the shot, it would look quiet fake and look as though we had not given the location much thought..
Also there were a couple of shots taken in Starbucks coffee..
Throughout the Video you keep getting took back to this particular location, that is because Starbucks was both posotive and negative place for Syed to be and bought back all sorts of memories..
There were times in the video where both Syed and Myself were in Starbucks together and times where Syed was there alone.
Starbucks Coffee was another good location to use because alot of couples like to go on dates to little cafes or use cafes as meeting points.
The particular part of the Cafe where wes shot our video was made for couples.
It was like a little room on its own, away from everybody else.
The tables only had two chairs which were facing opposite to eachother and there were not alot of them, so it was quiet to.
We could not get a better place to film than that, it was just right for the whole idea of our video and what we wanted to do..
There is a shot and Syed and I are sat on a bench, in this shot we are talking, this same location is then used again, but this time we are laughing..
In both these shots I am wearing Syeds coat, this looked realistic and made a difference to the shot, it made us look like we were together, rather than the two of us just sat on a bench..
