Our theme for our video is domestic violence, so we used many things to represent this in an acceptable way; from props, to facial expressions, to costumes and behond. These show representation through the mise-en-scene and performance given. Mise-en-scene is the placing, look and feel of the video; with this in mind an example of this in our video which shows that we represent domestic violence is the opening scene of the video. It combines the use of props, costume, facial expression, and placing. In this scene both are wearing black tops and blue jeans, this is plans clothing, and combining this with the upset or moody facial expressions show that they are both fed up; being sat on a couch and one of them holding a remote, also leads room for question. It suggests that their relationship is worthless, it is also very typical because shows the male character in a way that he always has his way and if he doesn't he becomes easily tempered, which can be seen as very stereotypical. Further into the music video we see that the female character has change of clothing, she is wearing a red top and appears, and acts more comfidently towards him, this breaks the stereotype that females are totally dominated in relationships. Also as I've said, it also a twisted representation, which is evident in the fact that she symbolises her pain but also her passion for the relationship. Also when the male character walks off screen we hear a remote get throne and a smack, but the screen is completely black, this gives evidence of domestic violence, but is also very mysterious because we cannot see whats happening; you then see her on a couch in a cuddled positon which shows her vulnerability, this creates her innocent look and makes you care for her, which again shows that males dominate.
