Mise en Scene PT 3

we film recently and thanks to my quick thinking I found some of my moms jewelry which could be used. I know they your judging me but Silver, gold, and diamonds don't have a gender. So I ended up using my Guess watch, and Armani bracelet and two of my silver rings to film. Another good luck is that we filmed in front of my flats using my dads Land Rover to attempt to give the illusion that it was King J's.

Day N Nite Animatic


This is an animation of my groups song Day N Nite. This was made with the purpose of giving a visual on my groups vision of our video. This would involve the different camera angles, and shots we would plan to use. This would also show some embodiment of the ideas that we would have had for our video. Such as Mise en sene and theme. It was made by scanning our story boards. We then would upload it into Final Cut Pro and use different boxes to show the scene corresponding with a version of the Day N Nite audio we planned to use. This seemed very simple and easy to understand to myself and my group however not everyone in our class shared our believe as they found it confusing, possibly because of the quality of the 

Music video narrative

after lots of thought my group decided how our Music Video will go.There will essentially be a 3-4 key scenes.

The first is that our artist is running away from his troubled past which included being part of a gang. This scenario will include a group of men who are supposed to be the gang members which King J once was a part of.  This will be shown through the different costumes used. Most of these shots for this scenario will include King J referencing his attempted escape from this group and will even feature a shot of him running away from them, only to find they're waiting for him around the corner. This portrays how difficult it is to escape from these gangs especially for young people. 

The second scenario will be how lonely King J is. In his attempt to escape his past life he fled to England. However, this left him isolated from the rest of the crowd which can be clearly seen in the party scene where he is sat on his own looking at everyone else having a good time. He also see the girl that he desires and talking with another man giving him more reason to feel alone. 

Thirdly, our music video will contain a scene where King J comes out of a chip shop. This shows a more urban setting as he starts to walk out the gang members come back behind him. This shows how the settings remind him of his past. As they don't interact with him it shows that he will still separate himself from them.

Fourth, The music video draft finishes within King J's studio where he recites the bars and does a small performance.

Digipack Analysis

Image result for digipak examples
This is Rhianna's Loud Album dig pack. As you can see the dig pack showcases her beauty along with flowers showing her feminine side. The album promotes feminism as she shows the pureness and innocence of a woman. Both CDs have a flower on them showing elegance.Image result for digipak examples




This is Nicole Scherzinger's Killer Love. It portrays her vurnability as she is slightly naked to the left and only has the fur coat to warm her. The songfest seems to be very slow beat songs as well just looking at the names. It a album pushing her as an artist

The Daft Punk dig pack is very unique. The reason why is because it is very simple in turns of the front side. Then it has an advanced technology look with the inner work of the helmet. However the CDs look like 90s vinyl.


Image result for artist magazine advert

This is a magazine advert with iconic figure head of the grime scene "Skepta", in the image it shows his style and seriousness about music as well as promotes his grime group under him, Boy Better Know aka BBK. The magazine advert is quite simple and shows all that is needed without making waste of negative space. I will use this as a point to make my magazine advert somewhat simple as well.

Mise en scene pt 2 (BIG FLOP)

So, we have run into a little dead end. The props i got us to buy where useless. This is because after waiting an agonizing 9 days for them to come. It turns out to be too good to be true. You the chains we bought turned out to be a lot smaller in person. In fact so small they cant even fit on my head. So it turned out to be a waste of money its alright though we will find another way or something . Lucky the ring i bought did fit even though its uncomfortable tight and requires butter and lotion to remove.

Artist Logo




These are the Logos that Ghansyam made while i did some record label research on OVO Sound. I personally prefer the bottom one since it seems easy to show to the public and get the fans to do with their hands embracing the support for King J. The reason why Ghansyam made it is because he does graphics and would be the best man for the job.
