Filming Locations and mise en scene

                          When it comes to my music video, I have many different filming locations that I have used in my set of Lego. The whole production in my music video is mise-en-scene as its all about props, colour, settings and locations. My first Location is where the lego figure used as Ed sheeran is seen walking out of a Lego House this immediately introduced the character to the audience. The mise-en-scene of this scene consists of a lego house which resembles what the song is about it is in a variety of colours as lego is. There are also items of trees using a natural landscape setting we see the trees presenting realism towards the audience through the medium of mise-en-scene. In this seen there is also a road and grass this also fits in with idea of house setting. The second scene we see is the beginning of a Lego house being built, this as planned is a scene that is going to be a basis of the video where we see the narrative begin. Then we see the next scene of the house being knocked down as resembled in the lyrics, here the props of a car is used with of course the Lego bricks.Next we see the filming location of the first scene being a snow setting this follows the lyrics in the scene, here I    have a snowy grey sky with white bricks presenting a real looking background also added would be props as flour for snow making it again effective looking. The fifth scene is a setting with the mise en scene of a blue sky and clouds made out of Lego with a surrounding of trees, this location is where the character goes to find himself it also resembles the original video of Lego House by Ed Sheeran only a Lego version presenting a theme throughout   the videos.



In the next filming location we see the use of a plain white background and grass showing a natural but unnatural location
which creates irony as it made out of lego but it makes a natural setting of a grassy verge. The snowy scene is revisited for the next scene. The next couple of scenes have the same location as it has a recognizable blue sky with clouds with a ground of grass 


For the other locations they mainly contain of having a white clear background as it makes the audience focus on the characters and the music rather than the whole location distracting them from the selling the artist. The other locations consist of having props such as the massive red heart resembling the idea of love, making it the bigger the better. The house and bricks as walls are also hugely used in my other scene locations making it simple but effective. 


We also see the continuation of the set narrative with a scene location of a wedding used with props such as other characters an alter, and a priest. Snow is also used as with lego its impossible to just have white characters so the snow gives the idea of it being a wedding. 


The last final location is like the first scene where the lego characters began. Sitting on the sofa watching tv ironically going to be showing a video of Ed Sheeran to sell the artist. This is also seen as a thing to happen in the music video Ed Sheeran produced where the two characters are in a spoof ending I have set the  location of this last scene to reiterate that.
