Initial ideas for performance aspect of the narrative

Locations
Performance outside - urban locations
Chapelfield band stand

Inside

Issy's house
Issy has a large back room, we think this would make a good location for the preformance aspect of the video. The room has several lamps in it, these could aid us in lighting the prefomers. The room also has lots of music posters on the wall and instruments in.
The weather is begginning to get bad so this may be the best location for the preformance aspect of our music video.
Arrangement of band members

Camera angles

Close up's of singer/ band members
Playing instruments and instruments
Close ups of dancing, feet, hands illistrate and amplify feeling of preformance and energy.

Instruments

Guitar, keyboard, saxophone, trumpets / trumbone

Low angle shot
This angle is used in a way which is powerful, the cospostion of the shot is diagonal which makes it feel energetic. The angle makes the performer look powerful as a result but also energetic.

Mid shot, the depth of field focuses on the preformer (lead singer) drawing the audiences attention to the lead singer. This could be a good way to drawn the audiences attention to the lead singer in our own video.

Another low angle shot, the use a low angle shot compliments the brass playing band members well, and seems to be a popular angle used when filming brass players in a band.

Stills from 'Madness - Baggy Trousers' music video Compositon on the band in the mise en scene is important in this example the lead singer is at the front with the other band members around of behind him.

Stills from 'The English Beat - Mirror in the Bathroom. Close up of performer dancing. I think it will be important to include close ups of dancing in the performance aspect of the video as dancing is a big part and generic to the ska genre. Close ups of feet hands facial expression will create a feel of performance, and bring the audience into the enegetic action. Another generic aspect of ska is that it is meant be fun, enegetic and get you on your feet! Close up of instrument, bring audiences into mise en scene and again enhances the sense of performance.

The close up determines the generic signifier - the boots. Close ups can be effectively used in the preformance aspect of the music video to show dancing, emotion, and generic signifiers / elements of the genre like costume and location. Example of a low angle shot below, makes the perfomer look powerful, and energetic.
