Construction of Mise-en-scene

In the first and last shot we are going to have Hannah in front of a white screen. She is going to wear a white t-shirt so that she blends in with the background. This represents her as being pure. This will contrast with her bright ginger hair which signifies that she is different and stands out in her own way.

During another part of the video she is walking down streets with the green screen background. She is going to be wearing different clothes to the stereotypical lower class pregnant teenager that she would be stereotyped as. This will make it harder for the audience to recognize she is pregnant until the end of the video. She will wear middle class clothes to suggest that she does well in school, has a good set of friends and has had a good upbringing. In this shot her clothes will be bright, colourful and happy which will signify that she is on her way to happiness.
In the shots where she is arguing with her parents, boyfriend or friends and at other parts of the video which are different from the green-screen shot, Hannah will be wearing different sets of clothes to connote her feelings. As she will be upset her clothes will be duller than the other shots, making her appear a bit run-down. The scenes will be dark and we might put a blue/green hue to show that the feeling is cold.
