I watched Lauren Leverne Interviewing the band 'Arctic Monkeys' which can be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cultureshow/videos/2009/08/s6_e5_arctic/index.shtml
Mise en Scene
The interview was set in a small studio with a stage. This was a very low key interview as Alex Turner and Matt Helders from the band werent dressed up for the occasion at all. At the end of the interview they gave a good performance of their single crying lightning.
Sound
The interview contained a lot of non-diegetic sound as it was just Lauren Leverne and the band members chatting. At some points in the video there was some Diegetic souns as she would chat about the band while the a song from the Arctic monkyes was playing.
Lighting
During the Interview the lighting was low key and dark, which made it quite intimate. The lighting in the performance of Crying lightning was very low key as you could just about make out their bodies as they turned off all the lights and just had random pictures of eyes in the background of the stage.
Camera + Editing
Most of the interview was close-ups. The low key lighting with the close ups made it very intimate as it made you feel as if you were next to them.
The cutting rate was slow as it is an interview and they only cut to the next person when they started so it was quite boring really but the interview and performance was good.

Ikon/Eastside projects Birmingham
Ikon and Eastside projects are art galleies in Birmingham.
Eastside projects had an exhibition called local myths. This had some fantastic pieces of modern art, sculptures, photography and pottery.
The artist Jennifer Tee managed to accumulate some insane pieces, no matter how odd they looked, a personal favourite of mine was the massive hand in the middle of a field which really creeped me out as it popped of the picture. Her symbolic pieces lie, hang and stand around the space and gives you the impression that you are in the unique mind of a genius.
At the Ikon Gallery was something a little bit different to most art exhibitions. The exhibition wsa called the Hitchcock Hallway, in honour of Hitchcock film Rope (1948) eventhough it was slightly misentpreted by AVPD, the artists.
The exhibition was something that will certainly stick in the memory for a while.It was a series of rooms that were all whit and all 1m by 2m. Once you entered one room you would discover a room mimicing the room you have just left, this went on for a while and manager to give you claustraphobia, live a nightmare ande make you think that you were in a horror film at the same time, amazing. The ultimate simple yet genuis idea managed to mesmorise the mind as you went on a journey to discover your ultimate nightmare.
