Mise en sence
I wanted to look into what mise en scene I wanted for my video before I drew up a story board so I could make just what to include.
Props; leather jacket, guitar, guitar case, suitcase, clothes to go into case
Locations for amplification scenes - outside location for amplification shots, studio for alternative amplification shots
Locations for narrative scenes – house, train tracks, train crossing, train station, streets for shots of him walking on his journey

Eight Second Ride; Analysis
Analysis of the music Video for ‘Eight Second Ride’ by Jake Owen.
Analysis of the music Video for ‘Eight Second Ride’ by Jake Owen.
The opening of the video shows a typical country scene with a pickup truck driving up a dirt road with an alligator on the side; the music behind this scene is very peaceful and mellow. After this we get a 5 fast cuts throughout this easy going part of the introduction showing the singer, Jake Owen, preparing to perform in the amplifying section of the video and we see the truck drive past the alligator with a cut zoom as the alligator roars at it.
We return to the amplifying section of the video with a close up of Jake Owen’s face when he shouts ‘Come on!’ as the song goes into a much more into rock-influenced country with a strong electric guitar hook, this leads into a cut zoom out to Jake Owen and his backup band complete with guitarists, bass player, drummer, P.A equipment and amplifiers on a stage/studio setting with 6 studio lights in the background and there is 4 cuts showing different close ups of Jake Owen.
As the singing starts with a close up of Jake Owens face with the lyrics ‘Hey Girl’ there is a cut to the narrative section of the video showing an attractive girl walk though a doorway with a cut zoom to a medium close up of her. After a short cut to the amplifying section we cut to a close up of her face as she walks along, followed by a close up of Jake Owen’s face, this could be done to show that these two are the focal characters of the video, this is emphasised with a medium close up of the girl followed by a medium close up of Jake Owen, the medium close up of the girl reveals she is walking thou a bar because in the background we can see men drinking at a table looking towards her. There is another Close up Jake Owens Face as he sings followed by a long shot of the girl, and in the background again we can see men drinking and watching the girl showing how attractive she is. The chain of cutting between Jake and the girl is broken again with a cut zoom out to the girl and over her shoulder we can see one man walk into another spilling his picture of beer as they are both too busy looking at the girl, emphasising how attracting she is.
There is a series of cuts between the amplifying section and the narrative as Jake Owen appears in the bar and starts to visually be part of the narrative and the intro plays again before the second verse. The girl sits net to Jake and we get 7 shot shots between cuts of the amplification section of seeing the pair in convocation and then leaving the bar together with a close up the girls waist from the back as Jake puts his arm around her.
We cut to Jake driving his truck that we see at the beginning, referencing the line ’tyres of his truck this high’ and the girl puts his arm over her shoulder referencing the line ‘slid on over put my hand on her shoulder’. In the second chorus he are introduced to a new amplifying second that has Jake Owen playing guitar and in what look like a swamp
We then see narrative to the bridge second of ‘put the tail gate down and we made love’ as we see Jake and the girl in the back of the truck with a strobe lighting effect similar to that what we see in the amplifying section. The last scene of singing is in the amplifying section with a close up to Jake Owen’s face. We then get a montage of the highlights of the music video play with quick cuts as the outro plays.
