Use of Mise En Scene In Videos

What Is Mise En Scene?
Mise en scene refers to the design of a piece of theatre or film, it essentially means the visual design which helps to tell the story through-out the production through ways such as storyboarding and stage design. The different aspects that it includes are;
Costume
Props
Lighting (including colours used on set)
Make-Up
Space
Set Design

In videos such as The Script - Nothing (an alternative rock genre) typical mise en scene aspects that it uses include; a typical urban setting which you can see at the beginning of The Scripts video, also the use of dark lighting when inside a building is used a lot. Clothing that they used in typically casual, rock or in some respects can be slightly 'indie' including shirts, leather jackets, beenie hats, chinos and tight skinny jeans. With reference to the songs they usual focus upon love and heartbreak and sometimes 'partying'.
