Mise-en-scene.

Below is my Mise-en-scene work.

Mise-en-scene translates in french to 'Placing on stage'. It means the arrangement of everything that can be seen my the audience.

The use of costume in the mise-en-scene creates a sense of both innocence and darkness in the characters. The female in the front of the scene portrays a feeling of innocence as she is dressed in light coloured (blue and white) clothing which shows sadness and innocence. The redness represents danger. The small child was totally shadowed and was shown as a silhouette, this shows a level of mystery and evil. This supports the stereotype that a victim’s attacker is always behind the victim as opposed to them standing in front of them. The setting shows how much more scary it is as it is set in a bedroom which shows how much more relatable it is, it increases fear as it enables the viewer to think that it could happen to them.
