I have used a green screen sheet behind the artist so that it could be edited to add any background I wanted.
I have chosen to edit the image so that it represents the Narrative music video genre.
I have placed the artist in an deserted train carriage to accentuate their feelings of loneliness and isolation.This is appropriate for the Narrative music genre because it is adding to the story line of the video, the artist could be traveling to work or be traveling home after a long day; there are many possibilities. The image of the train can signify the end of the line, for example the end of a relationship, or the beginning of a new journey.
The artist is standing alone in the foreground of the shot, this represents her isolation. This theme of isolation could be linked to the lyrics of a song or to the music, it could also be representing a mood change.
The use of Mise-en-scene is essential in Narrative music videos, it allows the audience to immerse themselves within the story line of the video and it can be used to emphasise the artists emotions or have a direct link to the lyrics.
The screen shot below is from the music video for Suffocate by Feeder. The artist is shown in a crowded train which links to the lyrics "hear me cry, suffocate".
