Film & TV Language: Mise-en-scene blog tasks

 


  1. Costume: The costumes of the characters play a significant role in this mise-en-scène. Jack's attire is casual and rugged, reflecting his working-class background. He wears a simple shirt and jacket, which contrast with the more elaborate and elegant dress worn by Rose. Her elegance, with the way she is dressed, signifies her upper-class status and is a stark contrast to Jack's attire. This contrast in clothing immediately communicates the class divide between the characters.

  2. Lighting: The lighting in this scene is soft and romantic, with a warm, golden glow that bathes the characters. It creates a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere, emphasising the intimacy of the moment.

  3. Setting: The scene takes place on the bow of the Titanic, with the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out behind them. The open space symbolises freedom and adventure, as well as the boundless possibilities that the voyage represents. The ship's grandeur is evident in the background, underscoring the luxury and great wealth of the Titanic.

  4. Props : The mise-en-scène includes several significant props and accessories. The most prominent is the iconic "Heart of the Ocean" necklace worn by Rose, which becomes a central plot point in the film.

  5. Actor(placement and movement): The composition of the shot is carefully constructed. Jack and Rose are positioned at the centre of the frame, drawing the viewer's attention to their emotional connection. Their embrace is framed by the ship's railing, creating a sense of enclosure and intimacy. The camera angle, which looks up at the characters, conveys a sense of awe and admiration. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's facial expressions and body language are vital elements of the mise-en-scène. Their passionate embrace, longing gazes, and tender smiles convey the depth of their feelings for each other. These non-verbal cues are central to the emotional impact of the scene.


Davy Jones First Scene and The Conjuring 2 "I came from the Grave" Scene

Setting: The setting of the Davy Jones First Scene is set on the Flying Dutchman, his ship, with the wast sea in the background. The setting in The Conjuring 2 "I came from the Grave" Scene is set in their house with it shaking as the demon is speaking.
Props: In Davy Jones First Scene one of the prisoners is praying with a cross in his hands which signify religion and faith.
Actor(placement and movement): Davy Jones crew is positioned in the background putting all focus on Davy and the 4 prisoners that are on their knees. In The Conjuring 2 "I came from the Grave" Scene most of the characters are in front of the girl cowering behind the people questioning the demon.
