Mise en scene

Mise en scene that i will use during my video will include

Costume- Dark Clothes to the Main character (jack) who will be playing the role of skepta in the music video. They shall be wearing Hoodies and tracksuit trousers which give him the Thug look which i am aiming for. To Seperate jack from the other males in the group i might give jack an item of clothing such as a Cap. Darker colours show more of an aggressive personality and his body language will make him look like the "bad boy" James the victim shall be dressed in lighter clothing, this shows that he is weaker than jack and buy doing this makes him more vulnerable which is what i want for the music video. The Girlfriend shall be wearing the kind of clothes that you would wear if you were in the house, Very informal to show that she is upset and stressed during the music video.

Setting- Mikes House which is a room with a table in and ash trays on the table, the males shall be smoking round the table and having fun but only for a brief few seconds will be shown on the video. A Dark alley way that is lit by lights coming off the sides of houses which gives a good Urban look will be where jack is miming the parts of the chorus. James Sheratt will be Mugged as it fades out on a quite well lit road where parts of the area are in the shadows for the group to stand and "stalk" james. The girlfriends room shall be a well lit room quite feminane and she will be sat on the bed whilst upset.

Narrative

Starts with jack walking towards the camera, Editing used in this shot will be flashing reversing the walking shot and each flash on the girlfriend will be seen. The effect of this shot will show that jack is the main character and will make you focus on him during the beginning of the music video.

As the chorus starts it will be jack miming the song, as clips relevant to the lyrics will be mixed in with the mid shot. The clips shots will be walking pace to make it look like its everyday life and not just a common music video.
Mostly swapping in the first chorus for all of the male characters sat around at mikes house having fun. This shows the group socializing a stereo typical view of males.. Having a drink them smoking before then going out to cause trouble.

During the "thats why they call me a bad boy" Lyrics jack will be shown as being quite a bad character, doing things such as spray painting a wall. He wont actually be spray painting the wall we shall find a graffiti that is already done and then use a deodorant can to make it look like he has done it. The camera angle will look like there isn't any graffiti there.

Next scene the girlfriend and jack arguing in her bedroom and she slaps him. Close ups to show emotion and that she isn't happy with what he is doing. By slapping him this shows you that she is nit happy with jack doing all these crimes, and she wants him to change. the close up shows that the emotions are very real and he need s to stop if he wants to keep her in his life.

After this scene there will then be similar repeat to jack miming the chorus again to show that jack is the main character (The Bad Boy). The lyrics at this part of the song are extremely relevant to his girlfriend that has been in the scene before and slapped him.

James Sherrat the victim will then be seen as walking down the road and the group that will be standing on the others side of the road will notice him and walk quite slowly but showing aggression through the way that they walk up to him and give the impression that he is going to mugged and the film then fades out which will both make the audience wonder what has happened and will make the music video a lot tidier as if there was a part where someone was getting beaten up it would look fake and a mess.

To finish the last verse jack again is miming to show the relationship between him and his girlfriend and as he is miming the girlfriend is shown upset shown as a long shot sat on her bed with her phone in hand, then she puts her hands covering her face, both of these clips will fade together and to finish the video he receives a Text message saying that it is over.

Actors

Mike- Eyebrow piercing fit the roll that i am looking for as it is seen as a common thug accessory mike has got a scar from his on his eye brow. Mike is not going to be the main male character "bad Boy" as he is smaller and hasn't really got the ability to mime the song to the same level that jack can which at the moment is going to be playing the main role.

Dan- Smaller character and is one of the criminals. Stays towards the back of the group, this is shown as they approach the victim. He isn't seen much during the video, compared to the other actors.

James- This is the victim, he looks vert innocent. James is tall and skinny (vulnerable) very stereotypical of a victim. This is shown from the clothes that he will be wearing, light coloured clothing and his body language just how he walks .

Jack- Will be the main character representing Skepta, he has a good ability to mime these kinds of songs which is needed for some parts of this music video. He is taller than the others and will be dressed darker than the others, wearing his hoodie and dark trousers. Jack also gets on well with the female character that i have chosen for the part of his girl friend.
