Today in class we further talked about mise en scene and how you can go in depth and find so much in just one picture. Mr. Rivers put up two pictures of them same scene but just from different perspectives. The one perspective was from the boss' view and he is looking down on the worker. The worker's perspective is looking up at his boss from a chair.
The most important choices we decided on as a class in these pictures are
- Lighting key= shadows/ darker presence/ Highlights his name
- Shot angle=looking up at the character showing power and dominance
- Color values= character is wearing colors that make him stand out from the grey wall background
- Character placement= in the middle and is alone
- Screen density= sparse of items making it so the character is the only item that attracts the viewer’s eye
- Depth of field= zoomed out making the character look small and powerless
Because the boss' view is looking down on the worker it makes him look powerless.
The worker's view is looking up at the boss it makes the boss look powerful and in charge.
At the end of the class Mr Rivers asked a question to the class about mise en scene and no one could answer. In a joking way Logan turned to Jerry and said the answer without knowing it was right and Mr Rivers sniped him from across the room and asked for him to explain. Logan didn't have any idea what to say and just responded "I don't smart Mr Rivers".
