(POST 12) Mise-en-scene in Him and Her

 Mise-en-scene in Him and Her





































LIGHTING : In Him and Her there are many aspects of mise-en-scene. I studied the lighting in episode 3. In this episode the couple are both going to a fancy dress theme party. Throughout this scene the lighting is very dull which adds to the over sense of dirtiness of the house they live in. There is no natural light, no opened curtains with daylight just man made light. In the bedroom, kitchen and hallway there are lamps which add a warm glow. The use of lamps also create an intimate feeling. These are only for effect however as in each scene every character is lit up by the lights making them stand out.


COSTUME & MAKEUP: The two main characters, Steve and Becky, are a stereotypical couple and known for their laziness. thye are wearing comfortable clothing, minimal and casual, realistic and relatable to many people in similar ages to the characters.The characters are realistic and relatable for people in relationships as they are comfortable with each other. The way they talk together is very casual and can be seen as comical.

After 1977's Close Encounters (see no 11), director Steven Spielberg reversed the alien encounter formula to wonder not what we would make of them but what they would make of us. The result was this 1982 blockbuster, which eclipsed even the original Star Wars and received nine Oscar nominations (winning four) – a feat unheard of for a film with such overt sci-fi content. Despite its genre trappings, ET balanced its fantasy content with an academy-pleasing dose of sentiment, played out in the home life of Elliott (Henry Thomas), a lonely 10- year-old whose parents are separating. Little time is spent revealing where the film's ET has come from, or how he came to be left behind. Instead, Spielberg focuses on the film's unlikely-buddy story; the middle child of three (Drew Barrymore is the sweet but clingy younger sister, Robert MacNaughton the cynical teenage big brother), Elliott takes in the ET as the friend and confidant he doesn't have.

rough cut

Before completing my finial film, i created a rough cut. This allowed me to experiment with ideas, trail out ideas and also try different techniques with editing and camera angles. In my rough cut i used the same settings as i wanted to in my finial piece, however used different actors. For my finial cut i want to use my Nan and Grandad as the two actors, however as they live in London i needed to experiment before they came down to film. This led me to using my friend and mum in my rough cut footage.   When filming the rough cut i used the poem i had found over the top of the footage to see how this could work in the real film. I felt this was extremely successful. I felt i really benefitted from completing a rough cut as it allowed e to review and refine my ideas.
