Planning setting and iconography - Miss Georgiou

Settings and iconography is an important aspect of our music video as they both set the scene and nature of the music video if using a narrative as they create a backdrop for the artists and also can represent the video such as a music video within space would create a sci-fi ethos that generally comes from the electronic genre. Iconography is important as props can help further the realism of a narrative or can be more entertaining for the audience as it adds more elements to the video for the viewers aesthetic pleasure.

The first setting within our music video, is a house, specifically one of my group members Luke Durance's house, the house will be used as the main protagonist  and his girlfriends house that they live in together, before he gets kicked out. We will also use this house for the flashback sequences within our music video as the house is a good place to show the couple being happy together, the couple could be sitting on the sofa or in the bed. The outside of the house will also be used for when the protagonist leaves the house after being kicked out, he will then walk away from the house and onto the street, where he goes to the next setting.

The next setting within the music video is Hainult station and then Liverpool street station. Hainult station will only be used to show that the protagonist is travelling away from his home, there will however be an implementation of shots on the train and of the train pulling up at Liverpool Street station. Liverpool Street will be used for many different shots such as a time lapse and the implementation of the protagonist believing he has spotted his ex girlfriend. After the several shots are taken the protagonist will move to the next setting.

The next setting is Stratford and Docklands, this setting will be used to introduce several establishing shots and shots that don't specifically correspond with the narrative of our music video, as there are several nice buildings and pieces of scenery we can implement within our video. Such as using the cable carts to get a high view of London with the use of a long shot, these shots although do not link with the music video give an entertaining mix up of shots and can help further the enjoyment of the video as it is not the same and is unpredictable.
