Mise-en-scene

L/O: to explore the use of mise-en-scene in films
I think that this character is lazy as their room is a mess. They are most likely into music as they have 2 guitars on the wall and music posters on the wall as well.

Settings and props
1. I would expect a space setting with high tech props that don't make sense in our normal world.
2. In a romantic comedy I would expect everyday objects and a nice bright setting.
3. I would expect a dark setting with everyday objects OR high tech objects depending on what type of Horror film it is.

Costume, Hair & Make Up
Based on his attire, Indiana Jones without knowing who he is looks like an explorer
Whoever the second one is, she looks like a normal teenage girl
Arthur Fleck looks like he is from a disadvantaged background based on his hand me down clothes.

Facial Expressions & Body Language
The first image their expressions are dull
In the second image their posture is high and they have serious expressions on their faces which indicates that they have power in this situation.

Lighting and Colour
The lighting and colour in this scene is low key which indicates the scene isn't positive. The light only shines on the characters faces.

Positioning of people/objects
In the first image the characters are apart on the same sofa which indicates that they are not currently getting along, possibly an arguing couple.
The men in the second image a positioned together which indicates that they are partners in a team.

TASK: Explain in detail what information the MES in the following scene tells us
The setting is a posh place which indicates that the middle character is being held prisoner and is being delivered to someone important. The two men holding the middle man are wearing a uniform which indicates that they are guards, the middle character is wearing a pirate hat and slashed up clothes which shows that he is a pirate. (Yes I know who Jack Sparrow is I'm just analysing this like I don't know who he is or it's cheating). The props are posh which further indicates the setting. The guards have a more serious expression where as the pirate has a less serious expression shows that the pirate does not care. The pirate is positioned in the centre of the scene which means that he is the one to focus on.

  1. This is better Chandler - don't worry, I expected you to know the film/scene. You keep saying things are 'posh'. You need to explain what you mean by this and give examples. This could refer to wealth, class, culture???
