Pre-Production: Mise-En-scene

Castings, props, make up, location and lightings
Casting: There will only be three of us casting in our production, as it'd be less hassle and three of us will be more committed into dedicated time and rehearsing again and again. I will be going to be the protagonist we opted me as I’ve done Drama before gaining a A which is effective, as I’m good at acting and we don't want people who don't know how to act in the production because we want our production to look professional with all the characters in role throughout and may affect our clip. Maram will be playing the same role as me in this because this clip revolves around the protagonist and two best friend’s life. The guys (Zain, median and Abdullah) are going to be college friends of Maram and Jinan. They will be going to walk through Sixth Form corridor as this make it realistic. The costume and body-language of the boys is going to be having a big impact so I need to make sure I'm doing that correctly.
Props: We will be using a short number of props as we feel it's not needed in our clip, there will be a Chanel handbags and ring folders which the protagonist (Jinan and maram) will carrying as they  just started lesson in college and she's journeying across so it's evidently needed. In addition, there will also be an iPhone as she will be texting an anonymous person which the audience won't be aware of as they will only be allowed to know some information, this allows them to be fully engaged and assume some things. The phone’ iPhone’ can also be in line with our target audience as a lot of teenagers have them so it's a vital element in allowing them to be more so engaged, and the protagonist will be receiving a call so the phone will be needed. Finally, in Scene1 as Median will be in the toilet applying gel on his hair, we need to provide these beforehand so that it’s ready for him when we are filming our clip.

Make-up & Costume:
I will be wearing my high heels with jeans and leather jacket and make an effort on the make-up as I need to stand out from the rest of the girls in school. Maram will be dressed similarly. The boys will be wearing trendy clothes with good hair styles to show that they are the popular ones in collage. And throughout we will have high-key lighting so the audience will focus on the main characters and also show power and high status, but if we do have a close-up and edit it right the paleness some of it should show to create enigma code. Humera will also be dressed up wearing a high waist skirt with lacy top and a blazer, bottom eye-liner to show she's a smart and attractive girl. And maybe red lipstick this is to connote how she's a mature person from the past but that she doesn't have anyone to dress up for the audience can assume that as she carries herself with a positive attitude.

Lighting: We will be using key-lighting when filming in sixth form corridor this is because we want to show the realism when the scene commences however, we may show an area of high-key lighting because we want to portray the status and power. Also this will get the audience assuming various things and that's how we want to keep their mind frame lighting will therefore help this to occur. We will be using key-lighting when maram and Jinan see median and humera flirting to again create the realism and to emphasis the facial-expression and body-language. Moreover, when They the day at sixth form finishes, There will be majority of key-lighting to depict the setting and show how everything’s happening, then we'll have low-key lighting when Everyone leaves the building the tension and allow the audience to question what the next day at sixth form will bring which engages the audience and want them to watch the next episode.
These are the two ideas our group have come up with, as our idea consists of two girls walking down the corridor confidently therefore  we want to show a little about the character roles so the audience are informed and know what kind of things the girls are into. When we finish walking down the corridor, there will be text on the screen introducing me and Marams characters.
When we comes out we will have a long-shot showing the building in a whole as this will fit the scene and in a whole look more so real showing that we’re coming out of a big building (college/sixthForm).
