For our preliminary task we have chosen Dusty Springfield's 'Spooky'. Therefore looking at one of Dusty's other hit songs is beneficial for us based on the mise en scene, i.e. the costume,the backdrop & the makeup.
The backdrop is set in a jungle/somewhere with trees. It's not too distracting keeping the main focus on the singer and not on the backdrop.
For our video we need to try and get this look to make it seem like a 60's video. We have decided to go for a plain backdrop with a spotlight on the singer, almost making her isolated away from everything else.
In Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black' she uses similar effects and the mise en scene is almost identical to the iconic music video's from the 60's.
She has a beehive hair do, black winged eyeliner, big eyelashes & a slinky dress that fits straight down. In addition to all this she camera effect is in black and white making it have a 60's feel to it. We intend to do the same with our music video to Dusty's 'Spooky'.
The old car shown in the wide shot of the video proves the era the video is set in as them types of cars are very rare nowadays but were extremely popular in the 50's/60's. The two close up's in both Amy's and Dusty's videos show almost identical images of the two female artists.
