Building mise-en-scene

Costumes and props

Therefore, we didn't choose a fancy attire, but rather a mixture of all shades of the elements in raw form displayed through her clothing. We have used Aurora herself in Runaway as an inspiration. We have somewhat followed her conventions along with 'Colors by Halsey'. Both artists have used colors like blue and grey which adds a gloomy effect, tinge of red to emphasis a fiery effect and faded white to display the innocence, that we plan to create.

A2: Research and Planning
My group and i have been working on our final project regarding the promotional package.

We reviewed a couple of video shots which inspired us to recreate a similar shot or something in a similar style. 
 Each image displayed impacts emotional encounter, five human senses and nature orientation.



 




 Shots that have inspired us to follow conventions regarding the music video. Aurora's official music videos are our major inspirations and her song "Runaway" is our selection for the promotional video.
