Break down of MIse en scene (Research)


     After learning of mise en scene in class on 11/30, the next assignment was to create a PowerPoint defining mise en scene in more detail. In the assignment, mise en scene is broken down into 7 parts each with separate meanings and impacts on the creation of a scene. This PowerPoint bettered my understanding of what some of the aspects meant and how they were used in scene creation.

    After breaking down each aspect I fully understood how to use multiple aspects at once. The key to using any elements at once is to focus on several at a time. For example, makeup, location, and acting can be focused at once while elements like color and lighting can occur without any focus applied.

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.
