We chose for our main character who is being stalked: Black branded trainers Blue mouse patterned socks to show vulnerability Black skinny jeans as links with the theme of sadness and depression Black branded jumper to show that it is cold A black long Parker coat with a fluffy hood to present isolation Blue glasses to show stereotypical conventions of a student to show her age  Grey branded backpack to show she's on a journey/trip We chose for our other main character who is the stalker: Black branded trainers Black skinny jeans Black t shirt  Dark colour short coat with a hood We chose to dress them similarly as our theme means that both characters are meant to be play the same character but in two different roles. It shows the internal issues of one's conscious stalking their unconscious mind. 

Costumes and props are a part of mise-en-scene and they are really important in representing mood, the scenario and the character's personality. Particularly, in music videos, they resemble a likeness between the lyrics and the story of the music video. Additionally, props and costumes also present conventions of that genre and help to classify the genre. Although, it is often subtle, it does help signify what the artist is trying to portray and the message they are trying to get across. From our research of the indie-rock genre we found a common colour choice of clothing in the indie-rock genre is black. An example being in the original music of 'Way Down We Go' by Kaleo. Based on our research we used the colour of black to base our costumes on.

Conglomerate Record Label- Atlantic Records Atlantic Records was founded in October 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson who are both passionate music fans and record enthusiasts. Atlantic Records is an American major record label and earned their reputation from specialising in jazz, R&B and soul. Thanks to their passion for artistic development, Atlantic Records has been home to some of music’s biggest successes including; The Rolling Stones, Cher and Aretha Franklin. In 1967, Atlantic Records became a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Bros after being sold to Warner Bros but agreeing that Atlantic Records was still worthy. In the 1970’s Atlantic Records reinvented themselves due to rock music making a big impact on the public. They went on to take on some of the biggest and most successful rock acts in the world. Since then they have continued their musical success with the evolution of new artists including; Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Wiz Khalifa. As a result of b...

At the moment we believe our target audience is around the ages of 17-21. We believe our genre will be mainly liked by boys however do also know that some females will also like it. The shop titles are shops we think our target audience might shop in because they sell the sorts of clothes stereotypical people who like indie-rock music wear. I also suggested that they might enjoy Wahaca the restaurant as Wahaca is quite an alternative restaurant much like the indie-rock genre. The pictures help resemble the types of album covers which be suitable for an indie-rock album. I took inspiration from tumblr and watching indie-rock music videos to base my ideas around. I have taken a more stereotypical view on this but I think it will be a good representation of the whole target audience.

I decided to analyse the lyrics because I felt it would broaden my knowledge on the song and give me more opportunity to develop my ideas further. I discovered it also pointed out key themes in the song to me which gave me inspiration for the music video and it's contents.

My mood board presents the characters as isolated and excluded. I want my main character to be seen as an introvert but one who likes travelling. I want the music video to present her as someone who is going about their daily life as normal but is then faced with this gigantic issue which she then has to face. I chose to do this because I felt it fitted in well with the lyrics. To me, the lyrics are describing a mental journey, rather than a physical journey and with the development of this character, I felt I could do this and portray this.

JJ Julius Son, David Antonsson and Daniel Kristjansson began playing together in a band at the age of 17 after become best friends when they were at elementary school.  In 2012 they added Rubin Pollock to the group.  This is when they became Kaleo which is a word which comes from the Hawaiian language and means 'the sound'.  Their first performance was at the Icelandic music festival Airwaves which was held in October/November 201 2 Kaleo performing at Airwaves Music Festival in 2012 Their live radio performance of the traditional Icelandic tune 'Vor i Voglaskogi' became a regional hit and the video went viral in 2013 By the end of 2013 Kaleo signed with Sean which was the country's largest record label Their self-titled debut went gold in their home country It got 5 number ones and was the inspiration behind their first European tour The release of their reflective acoustic single 'All the Pretty Girls' in 2014 was a turning point for the ...

I did this because for our main character who I am playing the role of, we are proposing that she has schizophrenia and the whole music video is her journey with schizophrenia and the battle with her thinking she has someone follow is actual all just a hallucination. This research has helped me because it's taught me more about the condition and also given me an insight into what physical experiences I might need to act to play the role more realistically.
