Mise en scene

Lighting - For the flashback scene the lighting used was luminous in order to reflect the pleasant memories of a past relationship. The establishing shot at the train tracks consisted of bright, shining light this was used in order to set the scene reflecting feelings of happiness at the time. The use of shimmering lighting makes the audience feel at ease and content with the peaceful setting as the instrumental begins to play in the background. Our music video narrative consists of a relationship that is soon to end mainly filled with flashbacks of the past where the relationship was positive this is once again mirrored through the use of dazzling light. Chris Brown's 'Don't Judge Me' is a R&B/Ballad song with a slow tempo which once again reflects the lighting used.

Location - We chose to film outdoors as its fits with most scenes that we took which gave off a pleasant vibe. As the genre is an R&B/Ballad song we felt it was relevant to create a narrative that reflected the lyrics of the song, overall, we believed it was more fitting to film outdoors. Most of the scenes outdoors were narrative based of the male lead walking alone in a deserted field this emphasised the lyrics of the song "I don't want to go there" this creates a feeling of loneliness, which reflects the breakdown of a relationship, this can appeal to the audience as it's relatable and realistic for those that have been through a breakup. For the flashback scenes we decided to film at a busy location such as a shopping centre the scene shows the couple having fun shopping together.

The colours used throughout the music video varies as the establishing shot/ intro reflects a bright, sunny day but then as the scenes begin to develop the colour changes to a more artificial style of lighting as the scenes were taken indoors.
