Mise en scene


Mise en-scene from Great Baddow High School Media

Task 1:
- In a science fiction you may find spaceships, aliens and futuristic technology along with an outer space setting or a different planet.
- In a romantic Comedy you would expect to see a chocolates, warm colours such as red and orange, and flowers.
- In a horror film you would expect to see the undead, masks, blood and dark colours such as black to portray a demon-like setting

Facial Expressions and Body Language

Image 1:
- In this image it shows two very stunned character's who are intrigued into what they are watching and looking at. Dr Watson is very surprised with what he see through his frowning and Sherlock is very worried with what he is seeing through body language

Image 2:
- In this image it shows again 2 character who are in a situation as the older man is looking towards the door to see what is coming and the young man looks to be bleeding and therefore sees the call as being very important and so he looks focused.

Image 3:
- in this image it shows soldiers and an army officer standing on the battle field while there is chaos in the background. The soldiers seem to be disheartened through their body language and by hanging their heads down, while the main army officer is looking in shame through his facial expressions.

Positioning of Characters

Image 1:
- in this image it shows 2 characters siting on a coach with a considerable amount of space between them. this creates a sense of awkwardness and as normally people would stand closer to the people that they are more comfortable with mean that it is also am uncomfortable situation.

Image 2:
-in this picture it shows a freeze frame of an axe that is lodged into the ground, therefore it must have been put there with force which could suggest that it could of been thrown which is dangerous which could imply that the characters are in a dangerous situation.

Image 3:
- In this image it shows 2 men standing side by side from a downward angle making them seem much larger that they are in reality. this is to give the viewers the impression that these characters are more powerful than them viewers and seem to work as a team and are dangerous at the same time.
