Mis-en-scene Task





    
 Image result for batman vs superman

In this picture from the film Batman vs. Superman we can see that Superman is rated quite highly just from this one scene has he is surrounded by all his fans wanting to touch him which clearly shows he is highly regarded and respected in this city.

Costume:
The use of costume makes this scene very iconic due to the fact that this suit is very recognisable as the blue and red colours which could be interpreted as being as being very patriotic as Superman has similar colours as well as always serves his country in that manner.

Lighting:
The use of having dark colours near and around Superman creates the idea that they are living in quite a dark world and is quite misty and moody. However the use of having a big bold light on Superman himself creates and idea of him being someone they can look up to and maybe there is some hope as he is the opposite of the nearby surroundings. As they are all dressed in dark colours however superman is wearing quite bright colours helping him stand out more to the viewer.

Actor (Placement):
By having superman the main focus of this picture it creates an idea of him being their main hope and this can therefore add on the fact that he is the people's only
hope and is largely looked up to, due to that fact that he may be the only one that can save them. As well as by having several people trying to touch him makes him look quite valued which creates the idea that he is quite highly regarded and it is abnormal to be able to touch him and therefore makes it feel special.




Make Up:
There is no
stand out make up on show on Superman however the people surrounding him are
covered in masks and face-paint to represent the day of the dead in the Mexican
culture where they dress up as dead people.





Props:
There are no real props on show in this scene.




Setting:

From this scene in the movie it is quite hard to tell the location of this occurring
however we the viewer could guess it is based in Mexico due to the fact that
the people surrounding Superman are dressed for the occasion of the day of the
dead which is only in the Mexican culture.

Lighting Still Image Analysis

Image
Within this picture, you can see a clear use of backlighting and filler lighting to create a low key lighting effect as all the left is coming from the left side to shine on the right side of her face. the use of showing only half her face creates a mysterious effect. The use of the light coming from the back makes the cigarette smoke around her look very strong and therefore entices the audience as to why she is by herself in a relatively dark room smoking a cigarette. Once again this still image has used low key lighting as the only clear light we can see being used is a top lighting this creates another ominous and mysterious effect. The use of top lighting means the only areas we can see the lady is her face. The use of only showing her face makes us the viewer question as to why the director has created the effect of us only being able to look at her face and no other parts of the body. The lighting in this shot is high key light...

Sound Analysis

Funny Games (2001) 1. What is the director saying about the family from the choice of music played? The use of music played at the start of the video is that they are of an upper higher class due to them listening to classical music which is categorised as being of a higher class audience. On top of that the use of having the family dressed in quite expensive looking clothes while listening to that music creates a sense of them being wealthy and posh. 2. How would you describe this use of music? The very few first scenes start off as being diegetic and parallel as the music fits the appropriate scene and mis-en-scene shown. Originally the music is used as background music until the dialogue between the characters is audible as they now begin talking about the song as they try and guess what song it is and by doing this we continue to get the idea that they are upper class family that are also quite wealthy. Suddenly the music becomes non-diegetic and contrapuntal...
