Wheatus mise-en-scene
In the music video for teenage dirtbag we see Wheatus dressed down rather than up. They are dressed in very casual clothing that can be seen as almost comical. We see the 'bully' or more 'popular' people dressed in a way which makes them appear more important and we view the people more comically dressed as below them. The way the more popular people are positioned around the 'teenage dirtbag' shows us he is meant to be seen as the joke or someone of far less significance. The mise en scene used in this video shows us the relation between the lyrics and what is actually happening in the video, him getting rejected by the popular girl he appears to love.

mark 1 out of 4 This didn't go so well. 4. For mise-en-scene, state where the video takes places (several locations)
ReplyDelete1. Aim to identify two or three items of clothing that you describe as 'casual'. Then you can explain why they seem comical to us.
2. 'bully' or more 'popular' people dressed in a way which makes them appear more important ' - as above, give detail of the way different tribes dress.
3. 'he is meant to be seen as the joke or someone of far less significance.' Perhaps explain how he is jostled on the stairs and in the corridor by the bully and how the bully throws something when he has waved in a friendly fashion.
