Mise en scene

The Mise en scene of our video will be crucial in not only creating the house style of our brand but also to reflect the mood and feelings of our character. As titled "Shadowplay" we felt that it was important to incorporate the idea of shadows into a video, and is in fact central to our main vision of the video. This meant that darkness would have to be used to create the shadow, which also fits in well to reflect the torment of our character. Throughout our video we plan to use dark, forbidding imagery to convey his state of mind and a sense of being trapped. We also plan to use strobe light towards the end of our video to fit in with the fast and manic pace of the music which also reflects the madness and un-stability of our main character. Overall the darkness and horror-movie element gives a very dark and gothic style to our video which we feel not only reflects the lyric of the song but also the emotions in our story-line creating a strong image for our video.
