Florence + the machine - rabbit heart (raise it up)

                                     mise en scene



  • Location setting and props
  • costume hair and make up
  • facial expressions and body language 
  • lighting and colour 
  • positioning of characters/objects in the frame
florence's song the machine is set in a forest to show that she is going to be released in to nature. i think the setting was used to represent happiness because in the video she is roaming around the forest with her friends. i think this place was used because it represents heaven it is shown as a dream like place and she is very happy to be there. i think that this particular setting symbolises her image of heaven. I think the location of this song has been shown in a bright sunny place which i think symbolises happiness.  the food prop used in the video symbolises the last supper that jesus had, it is like she is having and enjoying her last meal before she gets set free in to nature. 

The costumes used in to this video are angel like by using the colour white they symbolise purity and happiness. also the costumes used in this video are like the costumes u would where in heaven, they have a heavenly feel about them. the hair and make up florence used in this video is different to the background dancers in this video because it makes her stand it makes her seem as the chosen and only she will enter heaven.

The body language in this video comes across as very positive it makes it seem like a happy funeral more than a sad one. the facial expressions symbolise happiness and enjoyment and although she will die shortly they seem to be smiling through out even after she dies.

The lighting and colour used in this video is very bright, it makes this extremely sad moment seem very positive it makes it seem as if she is not dying.
