Location: school corridors; each floor had their own colour, e.g: red, blue and yellow which we matched our outfits to
Props used: balloons, a fan
Outfits: black jeans/trousers, black shoes and a bright coloured top (whichever floor each character was designated to)
Camera: Canon EOS 600D
Ariana Grande - The Way is similar to our music video as she used balloons. However they made the music video look even better by adding holograms over the top and by having loads of balloons rather than just a few. Creating more of an atmosphere.
Whilst filming for our music video as one of our tasks we had many challenges and obstacles we had come across whether it being the way in which we place the camera or the timing of when each character should come up. Nonetheless, we did have a couple of strengths, for example: our attires were colour coordinated along with our props which were the balloons.

The first scene introduced had one or two implications as we had difficulties with our timings with the song and when the character had jumped up. Thus, it resulted to us cropping the song clip as the intro of it was too long. So, once this was done the beat of the music started when the character first came onto the scene and went very well together.
Second clip was sped up to match when the music had started. The character is wearing a bright yellow jumper which contrasts to the orange background behind her. However, there were a couple of balloons thrown at the character but it was not captured on camera due to timing, this is one implication we had whilst filming.
How we manipulated mise-en-scene:
1. Balloons: we decided to use balloons are our main prop as we felt as though it gave a very positive and uplifting mood which fits the songs criteria as the song itself gave out a very contended sense
2. Costumes: when it came to our attires we came up with the idea of matching it with the colour of each school corridor that we was designated to. This manipulated mise-en-scene as in a few scenes one of us were wearing a yellow jumper, but our background was yellow which contrast one another.
3. Settings: we chose to film in the corridors because of the colour each floor has and decided that the coloured wall will make a huge difference to our video itself since it brightened our shots and made us stand out too. This manipulated mise-en-scene as popular music videos in the industry focus heavily on the settings and how it could present the characters personality.
EBI:
If we were given the chance to do this again we would improve on what resources we plan to use. For example, after editing the music video we came up with the idea of using a scrabble board game at the beginning and write out the name of the song. This could signify unity as it is a family/friends game and as it is a fun game (to some) it precisely represents what our music video is about.
We would improve on what kind of shots we would use. For example, in this music video we only used 2 different type of shots which was close ups and medium shots. In future tasks we will use a vast majority of camera shots to explore mise-en-scene in a number of ways.
When it came to the lighting it was a barrier for us due to it being minimal as we could only use the lights that were switched on in the corridors. But, next time we will plan what lighting we could use for example, use the light of a lamp or flashlights from our phone etc.
