Using Mise-en-scene to create genre stills

Using Mise-en-scene we created six stills of different genres.

We did this in order to understand what different aspects of Mise-en-scene go into each different genre of film. We also did it so that we could look out for these in the future and can easily know the genre of a film. 

Teen

We used character expression and movement to express the anger the character is feeling. 
We also used the setting of a school and set of school lockers, theses are often associated with Teen films as it is a setting where teens spend most of their life.

Romance

For Romance we used character expression and  proxemics  to clearly show the affection between the two characters.
We also used the setting of a fairly sunny day, giving the feeling of them being content and comfortable in the situation. 



Horror

By having the character in the middle of the shot, it breaks the rule of three and  is very unusual, thus making the audience uncomfortable.
Also the use of the costume hides the face and creates mystery and tension. 

Science Fiction

Using more than one character and dark lighting, we created mystery and tension.

Fantasy

We used the setting of outside amongst nature. This is a common aspect of the Fantasy genre.







Action

We used camera angle, costume, character expression and set to create this action film still.

She was diagnosed at the age of???. Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong conditions that affect a person’s movement and co-ordination. It is caused by a problem with the brain that occurs before, during or shortly after birth. Symptoms can include problems such as stiff or weak muscles. Jess’s condition has previously made her life difficult and painful. However, just over a year ago, someone came into her life, changing it in so many ways. After showing Jess the narration, I made changes to it. Jess has cerebral palsy. She was diagnosed with it at 18 months. Cerebral palsy is a group of lifelong conditions that affect a person’s movement and co-ordination. It is caused by a problem with the brain that occurs around birth. Symptoms can include stiff or weak muscles. Jess’s condi...

Ideas for my final film

Image
First Idea- The Effects of Anxiety One idea that I have is to create a short film on anxiety, and how it effects different people. One way I could do this could be through the eyes of someone with anxiety and how it prevents them from doing daily tasks.  I could also do this through having a physical creature or person that symbolises someone's anxiety.  I could go about this by interviewing people anxiety, and how it effects their everyday life.  I watched a few of videos to get some inspiration for a short film on anxiety.  What Having Anxiety Feels Like This was a video including the narration of a sufferer from anxiety. She tells us about all the physical symptoms she experiences, and yet doesn't notice. She also uses metaphors and similes, such as 'My anxiety feels like fire.', to describe how she feels on a daily basis.  It also includes black and white footage. I like the use of the switch between black and white, and colour. thi...
