2. Make-Up
In terms of make-up, under mise-en-scene, we went for a
look that is influenced slightly by ‘A Clockwork Orange’, a
film that is considered very sinister, but with some aspects
of humour also included. A mix of both the sinister and
humorous is something we wish to achieve in our music
video.
By using the make up in this vein in our music video, we
felt we could achieve the sinister and twisted look that we
hoped for in the music video, to go along with the humour,
creating a juxtaposing effect between how we look and
what we are doing at certain points.
3. Props
These props that appear in our music video seem
quite random, however, there was some thought
that went into including them. By using these,
people conceive those featured in the video as
possibly being child-minded, due to a rubber duck,
piñata and play balls mainly being associated with
children. This again gives off a slightly sinister feel
for the video, something we felt was very important.
The duck and play balls were particularly important
in terms of our album art work for, Colour of the
Trap.
4. Other uses of Props
As mentioned in the previous slide, both the
rubber duck and the plastic play-balls were
used in order to create an image for the
front cover of our digipak for Miles Kanes’
‘Colour of the Trap’.
The plastic play-balls were also used in our
video to spell out the word ‘YEAH’, to
correspond with the lyrics after the chorus
of the song, “YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!”
5. Use of Cardboard Boxes
In our music video, there are two uses of
cardboard boxes, firstly we sprayed one
side of each of the boxes completely black
and piled them up to form a wall that
Nando rides through at one point in the
video.
We then used the cardboard again by
spraying the words “yeah”, “yeah” and
“yeah!” on one side of the boxes and
ripping them off them.
These were used for the final chorus of
the song where all 3 characters in the
video spin the cardboard along to the
lyrics.
