Considering Mise-en-scene

Mise en scene is a major part of our film opening we thought in great detail about what we would need to include in order to make our

film opening as realistic and as effective as possible.

first Scenes/section:

In the first part of our film we have the montages with various news reports, cctv screens and a ticklist of names being ticked off

one by one.

News reports:

In the news reports there will be studio lighting therefore being realistic like normal news reporting studio does.The actors will all

be wearing suites to look smart and will all have make up to match the character. They will be sat at desks and will have either a

backdrop of a news reporting stuido or we will edit one in.

Props needed:

There is no main props needed for the news reports other than paper for the characters to look like they are reading

and speaking out the facts.We can buy paper or just take A4 paper from one of our teams homes. The tables and chairs that will be required

will either be borrowed from CVHS if permition is given or will be borrowed from another person from our teams home.

CCTV:

In the CCTV scenes of the montage there will be a young child on the screen of a TV or PC which can be seen by the camera and therefore

the auidence. The lighting will be natural as it is recorded but may be changed during editing depending on the effects available

and what effect is most effective and realistic.

Props needed:

In the CCTV filming we will need a live CCTV camera linked up to a TV or PC. One of the team members has a CCTV camera on their house

which is linked up to a TV, we will use this for our filming.

Tick List Scene:

During the montage there will be scenes of a list with one item being ticked off at a time. We have cleverly thought to add out titles

onto the tick list so each time we see the tick list a title will be shown and ticked off. In editing we will use an effect that highlights

one line per shot of the ticklist.

Props needed:

For these clips we will simply need a clipboard with paper attached and pen which we can borrow from school with permission.

Field Scene:

In this scene the young girl is walking in a field before the camera twitches and the girl has gone.

Props needed:

The young girl will need to wear her school uniform which the team will purchase. The young girl is wearing a bow in her hair and the bow is left

on the floor when she has left.

Bathroom Scene:

In this scene the young child is cleaning her teeth while looking in the mirror. As she bends down to spit the toothpaste into the sink

the villain is standing behind her looking into the mirror. When the young girl looks up and walks out of the room we see that the villain has gone.

Props needed:

In this scene we will need a toothbrush and toothpaste for the young girl to use which the team will buy. There will need to be a mirror on

the wall of the bathroom used large enough for the camera to see the characters in. 

Breakfast Scene:

In this scene the young girl walks downstairs into the ktchen where her mother and father are eating breakfast and talking. She eats breakfast before

her father leaves for work. She stays in the kitchen talking to her mother.

Props needed:

The props needed for this scene will be the perfect set of stairs which allow the camara to get the correct angles on. There will also need to be a spotless

kitchen with everything put away apart from breakfast. The props for breakfast will be bowls of cereal, cereal boxes, 2 cups of coffee and a glass of juice

for the child. A newspaper which the father will be reading and the father will also pick up his briefcase on the way out. We will borrow these props from

one of the team member's family.
