Planning: Mise en Scene

MISE EN SCENE:

As I explained in one of my earlier posts, mise es scene is setting,lighting,body language, facial expression, costume and Iconography.

MIS ES SCENE IN MY THRILLER:

In my 2 minute thriller, mis es scene will be crucially used every time and to make conventional to a thriller.


LIGHTING:
.Natural lighting  will be used when the girl arrives home from work. This will help convey the atmosphere and the mood that is taking place for the audience to watch. Also, lowkey lighting will be used when the antagonist is introduced in the thriller, this is used to make the antagonist make more intimidating to the audience as well as the film.

SETTING:
.The setting will be a Isolated house where the female character lives by herself. We chose this setting because it is very convetional to a thriller, since it is a Isolated location .The female character is living by herself,making the audience fear for her.

BODY LANGUAGE/FACIAL EXPRESSION:
.The body language of the female character will associate with fear and vulnerability, therefore her body language will be tensed up as she fears for her safety since she is physically vulnerable. Her facial exppression will be similar in terms of her fear, her face will portray a emotion of fear to the audience that are fearing for her as she sees the antagonist. As for the antagonist, the body language will portray intimidation to the audience as well as the female character, with the way he stands in the female character's bedroom . In other words, the body language of the antagonist will associate with their character through Intimidation. Facial expression of the antagonist will be a expression that strikes fear into the audience as well. It will be portrayed when he's in the girl's bedroom and when he stands in the kitchen of the female character.

COSTUME:
. The costume of the female character will be clothes of bright colours or white to connote her mental and physical vulnerability and innocence, in other words it will associate with the other mise es scenes that are being portrayed in the thriller.
 .As for the antagonist, he will have a dark costume in order to connote his dark motives and to portray his intimidation to the female character and the audience.

ICONAGRAPHY:
. The Iconography that we will use will help determine the action that happens in the thriller. For instance, when the girl has the keys to open her front door it is clear to the audience that the action will take place in the home within the 2 minutes. The Iconography will influence tension amongst the audience, to summarize the point  I am making on our use of Iconography and the impact that we intend it to have.
