In terms of setting up the mise en scene of the video, we want to create an antique feeling to the room using old furniture and equipment. We aiming to portray an antique 1940's British household with a clash of modern instrument and modern dress patterns. An example of what we would like to try and recreate is in the Foal's video of 'Balloons' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGrZkUQ6_r8. As you can see from the video, the entire song is played within one room and uses a mixture of the band actually playing and then other settings, such as sitting round the table.
We would like to be able to create a set for our video that mimics something like the image above, using retro, antique like furniture to give a 1940's era feeling. Props such as old sofas, large lamps, type writers and old televisions would all help to represent and portray the era we are trying to recreate. The 'Foals' have succeeded in representing an anitque feel to their video by using the mise en scene, for example the 1940's wall paper helps to create a retro setting. The randomness of sitting round a table drinking tea adds a quirkiness to the video making it interesting and gives an auterist edge to the video.
We would like to set up props in a similar way to the image above, with alterations to the furniture we use. For example we are using a red sofa like the one below as the focal point of our set.
We think that this give a sophisticated antique feel that we could utilise in our filming, it also different to conventional music videos that tend to use modern settings to go along side modern music, as opposed to our aim of contrasting modern music with an antique mise en scene.
To represent the vintage, 1950's mise en scene we are looking for, i have created a mood board. The board shows objects and settings that in some way we would like to mimic in the mise en scene of our video.
