Typical
settings of the electronic/RNB genre are mainly in an area with low key lighting and somewhere which is very dull and dark, because then the use of mise en scene and colour makes the video stand out moire and creates the effect brilliantly, which is what this genre is all about. This is what we hopefully want to create to maintain the standards of these music videos.
Typical
characters that are in these type of music videos are the protagonist, which is usually the artist or the main character, the attractive woman/female figure. However, we are still deciding whether to use an attractive female figure in our music video because we want to challenge and push the non stereotypical conventions of music videos and the genre of music as much as possible.
The stereotypical
plot/story in a electronic/RNB music video is that everything that happens makes no sense and it just happens, meaning nobody questions why the things happen, but it is exhilirating and exciting as it challenges typical conventions of music videos and music genres. We have almost finished our plot for our music video, and just brushing up on the final touches, and it is aimed to still challenge typical conventions of music genres and music videos.
cinematography is also a crucial part of our music video but also the genre because most music videos in this genre use a lot of close shots, high angled shots, handheld shots and canted angle shots, because this type of genre of music is meant to create confusion, show power, fast pace and create a sense of madness. This will definately be taken into account when thinking about this part of our planning.
Editing is very important to these music videos because using the styles and various forms of editing shots, these provide the kind of'cement', to make sure that the music video challenges the typical conventions and representations and that these challenges stick together to make sure they are effective.
There is a lot of
mise en scene used when researching these music videos and i found out that most music videos have a lot of mise en scene included in them, which we would need to think about as well.
