Coursework: Mise-en-scene

Costume:
My characters will be wearing a casual look being jeans and a hoodie whereby represented the average teenage look allowing myself to reinforce the stereotype. The hoodie being an informal piece of clothing communicates non seriousnessspossiblylence and represents that long gang look. This links to my statement of intent as it reinforces the stereotype that young kids dont dress up formal and do good for themselves and backed up by the location being a car park in the night.

Lighting:
I will use lighting to portray the characters face but at the same time use motivated lighting being the natural darkness to add the sense of danger and unease for the audience. It will be mostly exterior as there is a war between gangs occurring which is a never ending cycle. I may use street lights also as a tool of natural lighting. Further more behind the camera i will have 1 artificial lighting.

Actors:
I will have young teenagers from my year as it is revolved around violence between youth. In my production i will have two brothers who look identically the same. One villian who kills one of the protagonists and the protagonists friends who aid in the revenge of the villian who killed to protagonist. Furthermore i will cast characters with similar personality to add a sense of realism. They will appear in a lot of wide shots to show it is out in the open.

Make-up
No make-up needed as natural look make give realism

Prop
In public whereby i use a gun and a getaway car to show the activites of a teenage boy but will be resembled in private place as i am using a gun which is not appropriate in a school location.

Cinematography video feedback/learners response

Mr Halseys comment: some great shots and narrative is effective in engaging audience POV of the kick was excellent In other places, you lost focus (e.g. over the shoulder shot) In terms of narrative, needing to use text (2 hours later) is usually one to be avoided but nevertheless an effective response No titles/shot descriptions Feedback from fellow students: WWW: Good/interesting narrative range of shots music went well good acting  good camera work captivating storyline very well plotted EBI: Add in the names of the camera shots Try and get cleaner shots Show different shots I believe I portrayed an interesting storyline where the range of shots with the rapid movements of each shot allowed the audience to feel on edge and more interested in the narrative. Also the music allowed this to happen as it gave that dramatic effect. The camera work was also good by Samie Miah as there were no shaking allowing people to be more focused on the narrative rathe...

statement of intent learners response

Vaagesan Mark: 5 Grade: C Comments on Statement of Intent: ·          There is a lot of impressive content here – you’ve clearly thought about your concept in detail, the title and tagline are excellent and you use some media terminology and theory. However, I’m worried this doesn’t meet the brief. I know you address this in the statement but I just don’t think a pre-watershed show aimed at a family audience would have this narrative. One to think about and reflect on seriously. ·          In terms of word count, I think you have too much narrative description and not enough of the other aspects of the statement of intent. ·          You need a lot more media terminology in terms of the technical construction of your trailer – camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, editing. Due to the word limit you won’t be able to include too much but choose a coup...

It then cuts to a dolly shot of cars with music which therefore gains the interest of the audience. Different match on action shots which also adds realism. The adding of slow motion is appealing which therefore catches the eyes of the audience. There is a lot of tilt and panning shots at the start showing a still position which allows the audience to distinguish the setting rather than the camera moving around. The characters are all present in one room and is easily identifiable my the emotion and increased roles. The narrative is also under stable from their body movements, emotion and the props being a lot of money which may imply illegal mo...
