Film Leader Research

I want to use a film leader in my music video whilst there is just instrumental music on and the lyrics haven’t started. Film leaders were popular in the 1950’s to mid-60’s and this fits in with the iconography of my music video. The era I am setting my music video in is going to be in the 1950’s therefore my image of my artist and all the elements in mise-en-scene from costume to props will connote the 1950’s time scale. This also works well as it was used before a film starts and in my music video I am focusing on the narrative so it will interprets a movie from this time. In editing a special effect that I am wanting to use is the black and white effect which again will visual will look like a 50’s film. This is from www.YouTube.com and this is a popular website in today's society that people use to get access to music videos.

Locations

























House, Kitchen, Bedroom- this is where my artist will be miming and performing the narrative of her living alone without her husband.

Large ship- this connotes the artist’s lover’s job sector in the navy.

Black ship- this location is in my area and would be more of an easy access for me to film.

Car- this would link to my lyric’s ‘ cruising down the coast going bout 99’.

Flowers- the use of flowers at the start of the music video I want to show fresh flowers and towards the end I want to show dead flowers. This is a conscience decision of mine because these flowers connote their relationship and shows it’s dying like the flowers are.

Costume and Hair Style Ideas Mood Boards

                                                                            
From researching these costume and hair style images from www.Google.com helped me to identify the 1950's 'look' and style. The hair style shows that it is usually curled with a hair piece, and I am planning on using a hair piece like a hair net. It shows that they wear red lipstick and have cat shaped sun glasses. The clothing is a bright solid colour or has a pattern for example dots is popular in the 50’s. The foot wear is heels which has just a small heel. The skirts were below the knee and went either straight down or had volume to the sides. All these points I have highlighted from these images are what I am going to made my artist’s image style like.
