MISE EN SCENE

MISE EN SCENE TASKS
Meanings and emotions conveyed by the images;

 
Intense atmosphere, serious characters, what the characters are looking at is very intense-like they are trying to figure something out. Dark scene also adds to


Once again an intense atmosphere, characters appear curious and anxious, both interested in what is happening on the other end of the phone, low camera angle looking up showing how characters are potentially important.


Man in middles body language showing importance, war scene therefore contextually would be a loud, dramatic scene.

What does the positioning in the following images reveal about the characters/film?

Divide between characters shows elements of awkwardness and separation. Perhaps divorced couple, settings shows inference of counselling and body language communicates annoyance.


Axe in the middle of the shot shows emphasis and importance, indicating film based around it, perhaps of the crime/horror genre. Axe is a harsh weapon showing intensity in the film.
 
Image from men in black film, silver colours and different guns showing futuristic feel and sunglasses adds to the authority of the characters.

 Dark background puts emphasis on the main character as eyes are drawn to orange parts therefore leading us to the characters. Other characters in the shot show futuristic vibe.
