The purpose of setting and iconography is so that it links with the lyrics and with the artist representation. This can be used to give the artist a connection with the audience.
In my video I well be using the setting of a forest were the main boy and girl are on there date this makes is seem natural and lost compared to a man made place, we are using the setting of High Beach as this setting because its an easy location to get to, which also has a hill so you can see above the trees and at the right angle we can see the starts or sunset. Our other location is a pool table this is a sign of the guy playing a game with the girl showing him to be sly, and teacher her how to play in his own way. This is also the reason we have chose the setting of Top Golf this is where they can play but also show her how to play as well making him seem sneaky. We are also using the location of the girls bed room this well be white with a pure looking surrounding making her seem innocent, contrasting that the guy is the sneaky one.
We will be dressing the guy in the same black leather jacket though out meaning that he seems evil, he will wear the same While the girl will be wearing a white dress, but have dark makeup around her eyes showing that she's in pain. There will be use of fire symbolising the end and the pain of the relationship. We are using footage of a base speaker with red glitter in it to represent a heart beat.
My setting is conventional to my music genre, this is because most indie music videos are done around nature or social places e.g. bars. The use of the base speaker is not conventional though out our genre, it is mainly used within Rap or Rnb videos, we are using it because of the base in the song is quite heaving and it could represent a heart beat.
Seeing the artist emotional would make the audience feel connected to them, with making the guy evil they should be against him.
This post demonstrates some planning techniques. You have considered a variety of locations that you wish to include within your music video. You have also started to consider the purpose of the locations, but further explanation is needed of the purpose and their effect.
