Mise en Scene Plans

Planning is also an important part of filming, and the organisation helps to ensure that we have everything we need for each day. To that end, we've made a list of what will be needed in terms of costume and props for each location, and the clothes chosen reflect on the personalities of the characters.

Bedroom:

The room will be a bit dark, indicating that it’s still early in the morning. The room will look a bit messy, but nothing alarming or out of the ordinary for the average teenager. At the beginning of the video, the main character and his love interest will be in bed together, waking up.

The male will wear:

•           A black (or another dark colour), long sleeved shirt
•           Dark Pajama bottoms (though none of our planned shots will show these)
•           No shoes (since he is in bed)

The clothing that the female has will not matter, since she will be covered by the duvet for all of the shots in this scene. The only thing of note would be that her hair would be down and messy, showing that she has only just awoken.

Bathroom:

The state of this room will be more likely to raise some eyebrows. Clothes are on the floor, seemingly thrown towards the laundry basket but missing. It’s darker than it should be, but not enough to bother the male, and his lack of care shows that this might be normal to him.

He will still be wearing the same clothes as he was in the bedroom scenes.

City Street:

An average sidewalk, though more populated than usual.

Here, he will wear:

• A long, black leather jacket
• A white t-shirt
• Blue or black jeans
• Dark coloured trainers
• A cap or other hat

He may also wear this upon returning to the bathroom scene, but without the jacket.

The female will wear:

• A long jacket (but not black, and preferably not anything dark)
• A light-coloured blouse
•  Black trousers
•  Open, flat shoes
• A hair accessory, like a flower or bow-tie

Graveyard:

The scene in the graveyard will obviously be quite eerie and mysterious. It taking place at night also heightens the atmosphere, and makes it clear nothing good will happen there.

The male will wear:

• A jacket (the same as above or another one, but preferably another)
• Trousers
• Trainers
• A shirt (preferably long-sleeved)

All of these items should be black, if not another dark colour, in order to show him being darker than before. In addition, we will the following as part of his transformation:

• Fangs
• Makeup
• Liquid latex

In contrast, the female will be wearing:

• A light coloured dress

OR

• A light coloured shirt, with a cardigan on top
• Black or navy blue leggings
• Open, flat shoes
