mise-en-scene

Planning post - mise-en-scene

setting - the set will vary throughout the film opening. The set is a big part to the film because it is what adds the sense of horror. I am planning to have the sets in dark outdoor places, that creates fear for the viewers. The main idea of  the sets based outside is to show that she dose not know where she is, and it is going to be difficult to identify from small showings in her dream. The setting will interact with the character by being unfamiliar to her so it adds fear and confusion. It will create more feeling and visuals to the film opening. 

setting 2- At the end of the film the girl wakes up in her bedroom, the idea for this set is a normal room for a teen girl. Slightly decorated, clean, lived in. The room being decorated will show the viewers a small look into her life. What she likes and what her interest are. But it will also add confusion to why a normal girl living a normal life is having such a dream.  

Lighting- Lighting is another big part of the film opening. When outdoors the lighting is going to be dark and mainly sourced by the moon. It is very important to keep the dark theme and not overdue the lighting, to keep the horror and chilling feeling. When she wakes up from her nightmare the lighting is going to loud. The sunlight blaring through the windows, and shining on her face. This also adds the the confusion and creates normal again. 

  

EX) - this is an example of what setting I would take ideas from for my film opening because it adds the feeling of horror or darkness. It has a chilling look to it and is not an easy place to identify. 

EX 2) - Another example I take an inspiration to for my film is this image. It has the same look and feeling I am looking for and creates the theme for the film opening.

EX 3) - This is an idea of the room setting I am taking inspiration from. It is simple but shows some decoration and creates a normal theme for the last bit of the film opening.
