In in class today we learned elements of Mise-en-Scene or The setting of the film (screen makeup). For this particular lesson we used an action scene as an example
Dominate Features are: Colors, Size, and Focus
Lighting Features: High Key, Low Key, and High Contrast
Shot/Angle Features: Birds eye View, Low Angle, Eye level, and Oblique Angle
Color Value: Dominate Color, Subsidary Color, and Color Symbolism
Subsidairy Feature: Anything that happens in the Background
Screen Density: How much space is on screen
Composition: Horizontal: Vertical, and Diagonal Shot angles
Depth of Field: Deep Focus and Shallow Focus
Character Placement: Top, Bottoms, and the Sides of the screen
Shot Framing: Tight and Loose
Diagetic Audio: This is music that happenes within the film
Non Diagetic Audio: Music that happens outside the film scene
Many examples of Mise-en-Scene can be used out of the Darth Vader Scene out of Rogue One. In that scene they use lighting and Non Diagetic audio to create tension within the scene. Then when Vader is finally revealed they light the room up with the color of his lightsaber which is red then proceeded to move the camera angle to eye level with the Rebels trying to escape the room with Vader in it and shows their expression. The bext couple scenes create more tension for the Audience as the camera switches from area to area the whole time following Vader as he walks down the hallway. That scene is one pf the most iconic out of the Movie and for good reason it compels the Audience not to look away and shows how powerful the most iconic Bad Guy in the Star Wars Saga is.

Hey Julian,
ReplyDeleteREALLY great details about our class. Specific information about our objectives and the mise-en-scene resource stuff. That's all great. Don't forget about the second part of the assignment though: the extension! Extend what we learned in class OUTWARD so you can imagine the significance of our learning on the world at large. For example, how could you apply one of the pieces of mise-en-scene to an image of film that you enjoy? Revise the post and I'll be happy to give you full credit.
I revised my Blog is this good or should I add more?
DeleteHi Julian,
ReplyDeleteMuch improved! Nice addition of the extension. New grade should be up in parent portal.
