Set and Costume Design

Mise-en-scene:

Lighting- I will be using a lamp to light up my set because I am filming at home. I tried using natural lighting but the shadows of the props moved meaning that all my images looked different. By using a lamp, it will mean the lighting will be the same in all of the shots. It will also mean that I will be able to angle the lamp so that it doesn't cast a shadow. This will make the finished video look better than my first attempt.

Costume- The costume for my actor is a school uniform because this is what costume fits the narrative and it is something that everyone recognises and helps them establish his age.

Location- I am filming in my house because I am doing a stop frame so it needs to be done indoors. The narrative before and after the video is also in my house because it sets up the narrative and lets the audience know that is where the video is taking place. The stop frame is taking place in the living room and the beginning of the video is filmed in the hallway.

Props- 

• a book
• a bag
• toys

There isn't any make-up or choreography because they weren't needed in the narrative

Cast List:

My cast only consists of one person because it is about him and what he is doing. I chose him because I found a lot of music videos that have children in them and they are really nice to watch because what they are doing in the videos reminds the audience about what they used to do when they were that age. By having someone younger in the video, it is more relatable for the audience, no matter what age they are.
