Mise-en-scene making an original still image task 

 In todays lesson we created 3 still images based on the mise-en-scene topics, setting, costume/make up, lighting and figure and expression and movement.  in my group was Joe and Justine, we chose to create a sinister and dark affect for our photos. We used the drama studio for our setting and placed chairs in a random position in the room. some turned upside down, others up right. this is where we had our three actors sitting.

For the first image above we created a blurred affect, which we feel made it the most successful out of the three we took. we feel the lighting in this photo is also very successful. there is clear contrast of light and dark areas, the long shadows of the chairs we feel also looks extremely creepy and adds to the over all horror theme we were going for. 




In this third photo we used the shadow of Justine's face to add a contrast to Dan's, we felt her shadow showed the idea of innocent and looked delicate. I feel we used space well in all of our photographs and created an outcome which reflects the elements of mise-en-scene well.

E.T The Extra Terrestrial

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. Largely filmed from an a

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.
