Mise-En-Scene

 MISE-EN-SCENE:


→ Find a distinctive still image and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson.

  • costumes- wearing all black latex with shades, could show us that they don't want to be recognised.
  • lighting- very dark and not much light shinning through, could create a mysterious background.
  • placement- both the actors as side by side in the middle of the middle of the screen, could imply that they are partners in crime.
  • make-up- very subtle, could have defined their cheekbones to try and make them look a bit malnourished due to the fact that they live in a dystopian world.
  • props- the fake guns could symbolise violence that both the actors have to endure to be able to survive
  • setting- very dark with not much colour, looks to be as if they are robbing a bank.
→Find TWO film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your blog post and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.

  • in both the worlds they seem to be dystopian
  • the use of costume, colour and props – also contributes to the difference between District 12 and the Capitol. In this scene, Katniss is wearing an ill-fitting shirt, Primrose a threadbare nightgown. Their costumes couldn't be more different from the expensive suits worn by Flickermann and Crane.
  • the use of fictional animals and lands in narina presents to the audience that it is very different from regular films as it is based on fiction and the events are unrealistic such as the clothes that they wear - expensive robes like in the Elizabethan era, 1 on 1 combat and talking animals.
