Mise-en-scene

In our thriller film we used a lot of mise-en-scene in our scenes. Lighting – in one of our scenes in our thriller, (the funfair scene) there was a lot of lighting that we used. During this scene we used a lot of red and green (mainly red) lighting to symbolise the love, anger, anger and jealousy that goes on in this film. Sound – in our thriller film that we shot we erased all the sound that was in the film (at the time we were filming) all the sound that was in our film and placed a song (non-diagetic sound) “Love Lockdown” throughout the showing of each scene. The music that was playing on top of our film was off screen as the audience would be able to hear it but not see it. The music playing is also a parallel sound as it matched the scene that is going on in the film.
Make-up/hair/costume – in our film we all decided that for each character that is represented in our thriller should have a costume that best describes them through the costume (connotation).

Edwin- in our film the clothes that he wore was always really dark colours. This reflects his personality. With this colour it represents darkness, which is what message we were trying to give off.
Jordan – her costume was bright and dark at times. The brightness represented how lively she is and how sweet and kind she is. Whereas, the dark colour represents her pain and agony that she is going through.
Ian- his costume that who wore was really calm colours such as white which showed that he was a cool free person and was clean of sin/guilt.
Tobi- her costume was really dull as she wore a lot of grey and silver which represented that she’s moral ambiguity. However there was a band of gold which could represent that she may have been trying to bring out a different side.
Karishma- her colours that she wore were also really bright as she wore white and dark blue. This showed that she was a nice person however was a bit two-face as her personality was very twisted.
