Mise En Scene Case Study

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFA7ehe4wRQ

The scene beginnings with Tony exiting an elevator. The color is very monotone with differing shades of grey populating the scene, this helps illicit the drab, mildly depressing tone. The poised facial expression Tony Soprano wears aids with allowing the audience to infer the tone, he is there to show his support even if deep down he really doesn't wanna be there. Tony is wearing a dark coat with dark long pants, similar to the grey, depressing atmosphere the scene portrays. The scene then shows more of the rehab center, with many winding corridors and hallways. Tony is made to sign papers, his facial expression shows mild annoyance towards the formality, contributing to the boring and slow tone of the seen. He then opens the door and sees AJ (his son, the person he's visiting) standing there waiting for him, standing slight off to the side looking in his direction, like Tony he is also wearing all black, although he isn't wearing a coat, implying he hasn't been outside. Tony stops to look at him, before putting his hand around his arm solemnly. This is a low point for both characters, Tony's facial expressions show mild disappointment but empathy, while AJ looks ashamed, guilty he's even there in the first place. Tony is a disappointed father, but still showing his support in a low moment in his sons life. He cares for him.

Camera Movements

Hello! Today in class we made a bunch of different video shots and I wanted to show you all them. I'm also going to explain the angle and why it was used. This is a reverse zoom shot. It helps drive suspense as the audience waits to see my classmates reaction to the image on the screen. This is a dolly shot of my classmate. See here, the dolly shot is used to drive into the main impactful moment, enhancing its effect.  In this shot me and my classmate attempted to recreate a Steadicam by using a rolling chair. I believe this shot is suspenseful, as its unknown what the subject (me) is walking to. This is a zooming shot into a book about the rapper Drake. This shot is more meant to bring attention and emphasis to something rather than eliciting any specific emotion.  This is a static shot of the American flag using a tilt movement. This is to show the scale of the flag. It also helps highlight the flags significance.  This is a shot using a panning movement. It allows the ...

Mood Board

  Haunted House I chose to pick images of a mostly dark and eerie atmosphere. This is because the setting was a haunted house, which tend to be dark, creepy and decerped. I wanted the characters to look hostile and the setting to seem gloomy. I want the audience to feel disturbed and potentially unsafe.  A Summer Pool In this moodboard I chose photos of a happier and lighthearted tone. I was attempting to convey simple summer fun! The color schemes are light blue, like the sunny sky and the clear water and brown, to represent stuff like the rocks and tiling around pools, also it mimics sand.  A Desert I chose very few colors, green and brown. I used these two colors to express the emptiness of a dessert, and endless dessert expanse, barren. There's very little here: a person, some dunes, a cactus. Just like how there's not much in a dessert. A City A city is grey and crowded during the day, but quiets down at night, becoming almost eerie. I tried to represent that duality...
