KO: PROPS: Polaroid Pictures

After they break up we wanted the female protagonist to burn some photos that where taken when they where together. We wanted to burn Polaroid pictures as this was more fitting for a couple stereotype. We got the actors to take selfies using an iPhone 6 which we filmed them doing. Then to get the Polaroid pictures we printed them out using a Bluetooth Polaroid Zip Instant Printer.

MISE-EN-SCENE 2: Narrative Costume

For our music video, we wanted the girl in our narrative to have a skull painted on half of her face. This is because in our narrative we have a male character (the lead singer) who is upset and fustrated at a girl. We want her makeup to represent the 'death' of their relationship. however, it will only cover half her face as she is not actually dead, just dead to him. 
I was inspired by a character called Tate in the show American Horror Story. 
I used white concealer for the base and then 2 different kind of eyeliners to create the shadows and details. 
I had to do this very quickly as we didn't have much time while filming. It was also raining so it didn't turn out as good as i'd hoped.

MISE-EN-SCENE 3: Tattoos

 

As tattoos are a very common feature of rock bands, and as we wanted to achieve verisimilitude, we decided to have tattoos on the band members.

When first designing the tattoos, I took a lot of inspiration from the lead singer of Bring Me The Horizon, Oli Sykes. There were a few tattoos that i saw very often on singers or band members such as: 
- Roses
- Crosses
- Skulls
- Instruments/something music themed.

I also took the lyrics of the song we are using (Follow You) and found some phrases that I could base a tattoo of. 

I immediately saw the word heart and was inspired by that to draw a realistic heart. I drew the designs in biro as it allows small detail and creates a similar effect to that of a tattoo.

After having designed all of these tattoos and drawn them out, i began testing the paper we had bought to make the tattoos temporary, as my previous attempts had not worked properly. 
I drew a very simple sun design on word, and then printed it out 5 times onto the paper. I tried a few different methods, the one I found on the internet, and one that was on the packet of the paper. 
This was moderately successful, although there was still a strange plastic texture to the tattoo. I tried again a couple of times and found that if i used hot water, and dampened the tattoo often it worked fine. 
I then took all of my designs and printed them out.

On the day of the shoot, i brought along hot water and tried to place the tattoos on our band members. 
However it didn't work and we had to go without. 
I ended up drawing the tattoos on with an eyeliner pen. 
 
  
I drew words such as 'hate' 'love' 'life 'death' on the knuckles of 2 band members and on the other 2 i drew crosses. 
I also drew a lightning bolt on anothers arm. 


 

MISE-EN-SCENE: Baby Grow

This is the babygrow that I created using Adobe Photoshop CS5. I took our logo and layered it over the center. I then used the blending and paint tools to make it fit seamlessly and look convincing. 

I think that a babygrow is a good piece of merchandise to have in the store on our website. There are older fans of Bring Me The Horizon who have liked their music from the very beginning. These fans will now be older than the new fans and therefore it is very important to engage them and attract them.
