planning: mise en scene

introduction:

Mise en scene are key elements used by produce to convey the message in the film . it consist of 6 element which are lighting, body language, and facial expression, hair and make, costume setting and iconography. each element plays a big roll in a film as it allows the audience to understand clearly what is going on and to distinguish the roles of each character according to the way they may be presented, for example a actor who is well dressed will straight away indicate a sign of status and power but his body language an facial expression will allow the the audience to characterize them.

lighting:

in the first scene of our thriller we will be using low key lighting to hide the identity of our main character as she is shown knelled down in an empty white room. this will make the audience question themselves on why is the character in that place, who they are and what are their intentions

setting:

we selected various location which we thought will be appropriate for the scenes of our thriller. the first setting in our thriller is a white room which we will use in our opening scene. the second setting is a living room and the last is outdoor more precisely in an alleyway.

iconography:

in our first scene there isn't any iconography surrounding our main character who plays the role of a victim and antagonist. but if we take look back at the second flashback of her boyfriends living room she was surrounded by iconography such as a lamp, scissors, table and electronic devices and once she was assaulted by him she made use of all the item she go her hands on and ended murdering him. this shows that she cannot control herself so therefore was left alone in an empty with nothing and none to hurt.


costume:

our main character will be dressed in a white robe that suggest that she is a victim and so therefore innocent, her robe will be ripped and will contains black stains which represents a hidden dark side of her. our second character who is the boyfriend will be like every normal 20 year old men but on top he will have have a white shirt and a black jacket. our last character who is the rapist will be dressed all black with a hoodie which hides his identity.
