Editing The Chroma Key
In order to improve blue screen on a shot we used we have had to edit the settings in chroma key, these changes to the settings has helped to make the character clearer and the back ground more fitting to the rythem of the music.
The opacity editing has helped to make the background lighter as the original colour used was too bright and didnt give the effect of anger in the way we wanted.

Morgan Bullock- The Male Actor
Morgan Bullock is the male actor within our music video, we chose him as he is a very skilled singer himself which allows him to make the correct mouth movements and we know he can perform the song to a high standard, as he also has a musical/ performing background that lets us know he is confident enought to perform what we want him to.

Research of Music Video 5 - Catfish & The Bottlemen: Mise En Scene (Group)
This is one of the opening shots for the song Home Sick by Catfish
and the Bottlemen. As the song starts off, a collage of images is shown to the rhythm of the beat of the bass guitar.
The location of these shots is backstage of a concert they were doing. This could be available for me to get influenced by as it’s a big hall, which we could have access to. The costume in this image is very
indie rock/rock as he is shown in a shaggy jumper and he also has long hair which represents the
genre as he looks rebellious and intimidating.

This image is in black and white which can represent the genre by looking as if its vintage or indie.
The costume shown in this image would be targeted for ages 15-25 as the hair style is common for people
within that age bracket, as well as the genre chosen, being indie rock.

This image also shows off the bands name, which is visible as it is center frame.
The mise en scene in this image has influenced our creativity by the location of the image, as its shown in a train station, which is a possible location for us to film at for our music video.
The focus on the street signs is very good as it represents the genre of indie rock being in a city and rough graffiti on the walls.
This image has influenced our creativity by the location shown within. This is a possible location for our music video as we could use a drama hall with the spot lights on the center stage.
This image would be a tough to replicate as within the studio image, a crowd is shown which would be hard to attain for our music video. Although, the location would be difficult to replicate. The costume would be more obtainable as it is a simple jeans and shirt, which would represent the genre by having a rough, dangerous look about the band members.
This location shot is very easily replicated as its a simple outside, location shot. This has influenced our creativity as the costume worn by these two band members is casual black attire that can be worn anywhere. This represents the genre as the one of the band members is shown smoking which gives of the impression he doesn't care and is rebellious. This represents the audience as most would probably smoke or know someone who does. Also the target audience of 16-21 of the target population as they'd be rebellious and more likely to smoke. This can apply to theorist, Winships as it's for 'Female Gaze'
This music video is performance based as it is filmed from one of their shows a a venue.
This music video is performance based as it is filmed from one of their shows a a venue.
This has influenced our creativity and planning:
- The use of multiple locations shots like shown in the video, as it would be more beneficial cost wise as well as more attainable for us to replicate.
- Another, being the wide range of costumes used as within the video, multiple costumes were worn by the band members and this can be easily replicated.
- The use of shot types and actions to represent the genre, for instance; close ups to show the roughness of the band members to appeal to the female audience as well the male audience to be envious of the band members.
- That most of the music video is performance based.
