Planning Mise-en-scene: Location, Settings & Props


   
Sub-genre: Youth Drama


Film Idea → Two young aspiring rappers (two males) - one is a 'regular' in the studio, which is more suburban. This rapper is more privileged than the other one but doesn't really value what he has until challenged by the other rapper as he feels insulted that someone of his status would call out someone like him. The other is a young male on the gritty, dirty estates of London. He is more determined to make it in the music industry because he came from a background of nothing. However he refuses help from peers because he feels he can work on his own and doesn't really respect other rappers. They come together, in a rap battle, to try and prove to themselves and their doubters that they can make it in the difficult music industry.

Key Props → Musical props (mics, mixing decks etc), Mobile phones, Headphones


Locations → Studio, a bathroom, a dirty estate, college

Setting → Inside a studio, inside a bathroom, exterior of an estate and additionally outside the college

Costume → Hoodies, Tracksuits, Snapback, Trainers












Lighting → Dim in the estate and bathroom, much lighter in the studio. The Dim light will show how gritty and serious the situation is for both of these men.
