Mise en Scene - Music Video

Rick Astley - 'Never going to give you up'

I broke down the first 30 seconds of this music video for anaysis, in which I studied the all the different details and elements of what was contained in the music video. In the post before, I gathered all the camera angles and the cutting rate, however in this post I concentrated on the mise on scene of what the actors in the video was wearing. 

The first shot with the artist (filmed in the room with the windows as the background) 

• Shirt with stripey jumper with a dark blazer 
• White (cream) trousers and a brown belt 
• Black formal shoes

•  The background of this shot, is a large window, almost like a stain glass window with him being the only currant one in the room with a mic. 

The second shot  with the artist (Outside in front of arches)

• Black Polo neck with black trousers and belt
• Black formal shoes
• Trench coat

• The actor is outside at night, with the background being stone arches 

The first shot with the female

• LBD (little black dress) 
• Blonde hair

The third shot with the artist (standing in front of a wire gate)

• Light blue shirt with light denim jeans
• Ray Ban glasses

• The background of this shot is that he is standing in front of a wire fence, again with only him being the only one involved in the shot. He doesnt have anything else with him (props) apart from his Ray Bans glasses

The second shot with another female 

• Light, colourful shift dress
• blonde hair 
• Ray Ban glasses
