Locations- SHAKE IT OUT

Bedroom OneMy music video for ‘Shake It Out’ uses two locations, both of which are bedrooms. The first bedroom is used for the performance side of the music video. I shall have the artist playing his keyboard in the middle of the room. This bedroom was chosen because of mise-en-scene, it is quite spacious, this is to juxtapose with the second bedroom as the bedrooms spaces represents the person’s mind. The performer’s bedroom is open, just like their thoughts, unlike the narrative character’s, which is closed.

Bedroom TwoThe second bedroom was chosen due to being much smaller than the first, it represents the narrative character’s closed mind. This correlates to the music video, as the character attempts to shut the world out. The area also allows for better use of props, due to the room’s small stature, props will stand out more, and in turn, be emphasised more. The room also has a large window which can be used to manipulate lighting and meaning within the video (e.g. the less open the window is, the less open minded the character is).
