Casting, Mise-En-Scene, Location, Props, Costume & Cast List

Casting:

Finding appropriate locations to film.

My video will feature one person, my artist 'Free Son' this will be portrayed by myself.

MES and Location:
The location I will be shooting at will be Hessle foreshore (Little Switzerland as the locals call it), as it is a place of natural beauty, and it perfectly fits the conventions of the genre.

Props:

My artists costume.

Indie-folk music videos use little props, as it reflects the 'stripped back' nature of the genre. Therefore the only props I will need are a feather, which I will use to be a catalyst to show the colours changing.

Costume:
I had two options when choosing costume, formal (Smart casual), or very natural. I decided to choose the formal route. My artist is dressed in (from top to bottom):

• Shaggy (ish) hair, the artists in this genre care very little about their look, it is not a fashion show. 
• Blazer.
• Smart yet casual shirt.
• Black skinny jeans.
• Black shoes.
