Mise-en-Scene

 MISE-EN-SCENE 

Although I was absent, when the majority of lesson was taught on Mise-en-Scene. I knew the meaning. Mise-en-scene means everything you see on screen and everything that is on the screen was there for a purpose. I understood that everything that was put on screen was there to make the viewer feel a certain way, it created a mood for the viewer. Mise-en-Scene also includes the props, lighting, costumes, design, and even make up, that play a huge role in a movies meaning as well as the audiences mood and reaction towards the film. 

The project on "Photography Mini Project", really helped me understand the elements of Mise-en-Scene a little bit more. 

This is the photo that I took, Using the elements of Mise-en-Scene:



This project was very fun to do. I really enjoyed it. I was able to play around with the lighting of the photo, adjusting the temperature, and exposure. I was also able, to kind of capture like an illusion, that my subject was jumping into the jar. I had to lay down on the driveway and with my phone create a low angle shot, making my subject look a lot smaller than the jar. I then placed the jar close to my phone, to make the illusion that the jar was bigger that my subject. The only thing that I would change about this photo would be the setting, I feel like if I was to do this in another setting, it would be more meaningful. Although, I do think I did a pretty good job!

Stage 1 of my final project

This is the first step towards the completion of my portfolio.  To start off, the kind of movie that I'm interested in creating would be an mystery movie. The basic genre convention of my movie would be dark, suspenseful and murder. It's a genre of film that revolves around the solution of the problem or a crime. Other opening sequences of my genre include background knowledge, showing the setting, the characters and what happened all the way up until current. An opening sequence reveals meaning and tone without giving too much away by giving little pieces of what's to come throughout the story, which makes the viewer interested in the storyline. Depending on the genre, not too much action goes on in the opening scene. There might be some action, showing what happened before, leading up until the start of the movie. The settings or locations of other films in my genre are, but are not limited to, forests, homes, buildings, theme parks, etc.. Almost any place that you can go...

All about Mystery !

Welcome and get ready for an adventure!  Today we will be focusing on the concepts and what goes into mysteries. Let's talk about settings What are the settings or locations where mysteries are filmed? Well. Mysteries are normally filmed in all different time periods. Mysteries are also normally set in various locations. You might mostly see forests, cemeteries, homes, buildings. But these locations can keep going on and on.  Not to mention,  Sometimes the mystery may take place in a magical or unusual place.

As for the timeframe, mysteries are normally filmed in the day. Well, it depends on the TYPE of mystery. For a mystery with murder, it might happen at night or in the evening.
