L/O: To explore the use of mise-en-scene in films.
The person into music and a bit of reading from the books on the shelf. Also he has some posters of people so maybe he's a fan of them. That person might still be in school/university because of the notebooks on the floor.
Mise-en-scene is made up of 5 areas:#
- Setting & Props
- Costume, hair & make up
- Facial expressions & Body language
- lighting & colour
- Positioning of characters/ objects within the frame.
Setting & Props
-Settings & Locations play an important part in film-making and are not just 'bakgrounds'.
task: What settings,locations and props would you expect to find in:
1.A science film-in a lab,a bit in the future,science stuff and technology.
2.A romance comedy- on a beach,present & future, ring.
3.A horror film-old houses/forest,in past,fake blood, dolls,costumes.
Costume,Hair & Make up
-Costume,Hair & Make up act as an instant indicator to us of a characters personality, status & job.
-It tells us immediatly whetever the film is set in the present and what society/ or culture it will centre around.
Facial expressions &body language
-Facial expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling.
-if someone is smiling broadly,we assume they are happy but we may get a different feeling if this is accompanied by a scary music.
Lighting & colour
LOW KEY LIGHTING
-Produces sharp contrasts of light and dark areas
-Deep,distinct shadows/silhouettes are formed
HIGH KEY LIGHTING
-Lighting is natural and realistic to our eyes
-Produces brightly lit sets or sunny day
Task: What does the lighting & colour suggest about this scene?
-in the past
-dark room
-old house
Position of people/objects
-positioning within a frame can draw our attention to an important character/ object
-A film-maker can use positioning to indicade relationships between people
put it all together
-in past
-food, guns with sabby thing at the end
-royal guard costume and a pirat costume
-two serious guards and one ready to escape pirat
-the two guards are garding jack not to escape and jack is in the middle of them two with both his hands up .
yey - you got it to work!
ReplyDeleteThere are some good ideas, but try to explain what the mise-en-scene tells us and HOW it does this. For example, in the last image, how do we know he is a pirate? What does it tell us about the time period it is set in? How about the room he is in - what sort of a place is it and how do we know?
DIRT: add detail to the final analysis
