9- Her mise en scene

Setting:

This photo is set in a city, presumably quite a large city due to the size of the buildings seen in the background. Also because of the fact that there are many people in the background walking the streets showing that there is a large population. The man centred in the middle of the screen is clearly the character of focus in this scene.

Lighting:

The level of light in this picture is quite low, showing that it is either early in the day or late at night. The low levels of light may imply that the man in the focus of this scene is sad or anxious, which is also shown by his body language….

Figure expression:

The character in this scene is shown folding his arms and looking down towards the floor, this implies that he is sad or maybe upset or vulnerable , due to the fact that he is trying to avoid eye contact and making his body as small as possible. Also, the people in the rest of the scene in the background are either in pairs or relationships or on their phone so are shown as having something to do or look at. This amplifies that fact that he may feel lonely or that he is jealous of others around him.

Costume:

The main character in this scene is wearing a bright red jacket which is instantly seen when you look at the picture. This makes the man stand out as the jacket is so bright and in the middle of the screen, also because the rest of the people in the scene are wearing rather dull and mundane colours, further making him stand out from the crowd.

11- Ferris bueller's day off- Mise en scene

Ferris beuller's day off is an 80s teenage comedy in which the main character, a confident, sly and clever high schooler does everything he can to ensure that he doesn't get caught while skipping school. On this day that he is not at school him, his girlfriend Sloane and best friend Cameron take a trip to Chicago which has its ups and downs. In one scene, because the miles on Cameron's dads Ferrari have been changed, Cameron goes "berserk", screams and pretends to go into a mental state. We then see Ferris and Sloane trying to wake him from this state while sitting in a pool and having him sit poolside. When Cameron slumps himself into the water, Ferris throws himself after him and brings him to the surface where Cameron wakes up and states that he was fine and was joking about being mad. This image shows Cameron sitting in the back of the car, dazed while Ferris drives and Sloane turns to him to Comfort him. The way that Ferris is shown as not caring for hi

post 34- Micro elements of film form- the goldrush

Scene 1: the shotgun scene The opening scene of the Goldrush sees Charlie Chaplin trekking through the snow and coming across a house in the middle of nowhere. here is where he meets the two other characters; the other gold hunter and the man that lived in the house that they found. as the man doesn't know why the other charactors are in his house he pulls out a shotgun and points it at Chaplin in a funny way. Mise en scene: Costume and makeup: the costume of all three characters stays the same throughout this scene. Chaplin wearing his iconic suit unprepared for the weather, the other two wearing large fur coats and hats to keep warm. This makes Chaplin's character (the lone prospector) seem a lot smaller than The makeup in this scene is minimal as it is hardly needed as the black and white picture makes it hard to notice any makeup anyway. the only makeup used is the makeup around Chaplin's eyes to make him stand out in the film. Props: the props in this scene are m

30- making narnia

Making of Narnia Exterior We used a forest in Wymondham which was local to us so it wasn't too long of a walk to get to. Although, it was very cold and quite frosty, this just added to the atmosphere we wanted for Narnia as it supposed to be winter time. We made sure that our actors (when they weren't being filmed) had warm coats on as we didn't want them to get too cold. We chose to not do snow to make our Narnia as we thought it would create too much mess and it would be hard for us to get the snow in every angle we wanted to film. If we were to do snow, it would mean that we would have to limit what we could film as we would have to make sure snow was in every scene and cover a lot of the forest area which would mean a lot of time would be spent after cleaning it up. We also chose not to use a lamppost as there wasn't any nearby to where we were filming so instead we used a tree as we believed it would be more effective than just having a lamppost in the
