Miss En Scene

Miss En Scene

I used Taylor Swifts 'Blank Space' as an example to see what miss en scene it uses whihc could give me inspiration for my own music video.

Setting/location- this music video was set in the countryside and the location was a big old

Fashioned mansion. The house seemed to be separated from the city and other people.

Characters/actors/stars- the star in this video was Taylor Swift as she is the singer of the song. There are only 2 people in this music video including Taylor herself. The other person is an actor who plays the role of her boyfriend within the video.

Props- there wasn’t many props used in this video as they mainly used the scenery to create the image. There were animals used in this video as props like the horses which occurred numerous times and the dogs. They used the painting easel when she was painting him and the picnic blanket and basket. Towards the end the apple was a featured prop.

Costume- Throughout he video the 2 people in it are constantly wearing outfits, which could be seen as ‘posh’ or ‘well dressed’. From wearing a ball gown to a long black fitted dress, Taylor is always really well dressed and the other character is wearing a suit for the majority of scenes. Even when they are riding the horses they are very well dressed with him in a jumper and shirt and her in a shirt.

Hair/makeup- The man in this video had no makeup on and his hair stayed the same through which could show that the breakup between hem had no effect on him. On the other hand Taylors makeup and hair was perfect up until they had their breakup and when this happened hair looked messy and she had her mascara running down her face. After this scene was the one with the apple where her makeup was perfect again which shows that she was over it and her feelings had now changed. Throughout her lipstick was always red.

Lighting- The lighting whilst the scenes are outside use natural lighting whereas when they are inside they are probably using studio lighting.
