Mise en scene (Preliminary Exercise)




     During class on 11/30, we took notes on what mise en scene and why it is used, and how it is used by directors to make films and scenes. Mise en scene is why every element, color, object, prop, clothing, etc. is used to make a scene. It is one way of storytelling, the other being montage. Mise en scene is used by directors so that everything in the frame adds to the tone or mood of the film.

    This lesson taught us how to use blocking. Blocking is when actors stand on a set and how they move around over the course of filming, or as some would say choreography. Its important in creating tone and mode for each scene. It shows what is important and what isn't focused on. Blocking and mise en scene are two of the most important part of the movie no matter what scene or part of the movie is playing.

Final Product (post production)

             https://youtu.be/UvkJotit_yQ                     After months of research, analysis, and production we finally finished our intro. We decided to give the main character (Spence Spencer), narration during the intro and ending sequences. During our first edit, we looked back at comedy movies and realized many had the main character narrate while no dialogue was occurring. We decided to follow this convention. We also added a new scene at the end to better establish the narrative of the rest of the movie. Another change that was added was the makeup. In our first draft it was obvious we never put thought into the makeup so we changed that by using makeup to give Spencer the main character a black eye in the last shot.
