1. The Vampire Diaries
Season 3
Episode 3
The End Of The Affair
(1920s Chicago Flashback)

2. THE VIDEO:
To find inspiration for the 1920s era our video
would be based around, I decided to watch and
analyse an episode from the TV series ‘The
Vampire Diaries’.
In this episode the character, Stefan Salvatore
has a flashback to his life in 1920s Chicago.
I thought that this analysis could help lead to
ideas for the Mise-En-Scene for our video.
Here is a clip from the episode I watched:

I then went onto watching another
episode,where the teenagers of Mystic Falls
are celebrating a 1920s themed decade
dance.
Through watching this I thought it would be a
help to us when we are trying to combine
both the modern era with the 1920s.
