Mise En Scene: Market Research

To make our music video convincing we need the mise en scene to be realistic and to also conform to stereotypes of what people would expect to see when they think of that particular person. We asked three questions based on the characters and ideas we had already for our music video.

1) When you imagine a male geek character, what do you imagine him wearing?
This question would allow us to dress our character in a certain way to portray to the audience that perhaps he is socially awkward. It may also get a reaction of sympathy, from the audience, to him. 

2) What props would you associate with a little girls' bedroom?
Again this question allows us to conform to stereotypes of a typical little girl and what people expect to see in her bedroom. It may also give us an opportunity to contrast her personality or actions with the mise en scene. We could have an innocent little girls bedroom but her actions may deviate the stereotypes of her representation.

3) Do you think endings are better when told or left on a cliffhanger to make your own interpretation?
We asked this question of a way of maybe trying to make our music video different. To evaluate the idea of leaving our music video in a sort of cliffhanger so that the ending could be seen different by different people.
