Mise en scène

We brought a number of props in, this enabled us to give the room a feel of an trashed 1980's bedroom. These included: Party poppers, videos tapes, beer cans, cassettes, 1980's posters, electric lamp, duvets, a bed and a bag-puss soft toy.

The idea of these props was to create the "80's" feel for the room. The wallpaper as seen in the p hoto above helps create this feeling as it is quite old. Also we used this room for one of the scenes due to the bland colour of the wallpaper which we used to attract attention to ourselves and the props around the room. As it draws attention to the props around the room it helps contribute to the trashed feeling of the room.

We also stuck some of "The Cure's" vinyl's up on the wall as they were colourful and it also reference's the band. It also suggests that we as the band would be living in the room.

The picture above is just a snapshot of some of the props around the room. This shows the video cassettes, which is referencing the "80's". In the shot we also see the blue glasses, we used the reflection from the mirrored lenses of the glasses to capture a shot of us leaving the room. We used this shot as we felt it was different, it creates a feel of the room watching as we leave. We did this rather than just have another medium shot of us leaving the room as we felt it helped add to the variety of shots which keeps the viewer interested.
