Mis-en-scene Task

    

 

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.
