Setting

Setting is the most important thing. It determines characters, timeliness, dialogue, conflicts (and resolutions). Plot is what sets the mood of the audience and how they perceive the characters. Just by having a room with certain furniture, items in it without anyone in the room could already have a meaning. For example in a music video it is usually shown how the character perceives the location and therefore reacts to it. In a music video there is often a change in the setting for example the chemical brothers the character is often changing to a different scene with a different setting and usually the clothes of the character are even changed. Through out the video when the scene is changing we get new questions whats going to happen next? well this is what keeps the video interesting because of the different set up of the background itself.




In a music video the main character usually is pointed out the most, however sometimes for example in pop videos we have a relationship between two people which could show two main characters but that's not always true.
