Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response

-

 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full.

  • The performance of the actor is an important part of mise-en-scene and you’ve got some very good moments here in terms of expression or body language that mimics the original scene.
  • In terms of setting, it’s not ideal (doesn’t really feel like a home/kitchen) but in the circumstance of filming in school you’ve done well to use the location you’ve chosen. However, it still works as a useful reminder that the best Media production work tends to be filmed off-site.
  • Finally, there is one moment where the audio and video is out of sync which is important to notice and fix before you export a final production. 

2) Type up a summary of the feedback you have had from the rest of the class - bullet points is fine.

  • line delivery was good
  • ending was abrupt and sync with audio was off
  • does she chew gum in the original?
  • Good dialogue
  • good setting
  • original voice over used
  • audio was clear
  • camera shots were good
  • costume is similar

3) Use all the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW (What Went Well) and EBI (Even Better If...)

I think that my actor choice was very good as Izabela was able to perfectly recreate Casey's body language and expressions towards the phone call. However, I think we should have recreated our own version of Ghosts faces voice.

4) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your planning (script, shot list) help clarify and develop your ideas?

Planning shots and script writing was all well organised as i re-watched the first 60 seconds of Scream in order to list down the conversations and camera angles as well as when they switched. I tried my best to keep it as similar to the original by making sure the camera showed from waist up.

5) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, audio levels etc.)

In the future, i need to practices with lip-syncing audios in order for them to sink up with the videos perfectly. As well as this, i need to not only experiment with audio levels between my characters and background noises.

6) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene in film and television? Write a paragraph to answer this.

Mise-en-scene fills up the basics for film and television production where each aspect is closely looked upon and purposely directed. Costume is used to give characters a personality and a background for viewers to stereotype from.  Actors are purposely chosen for their skill in acting and commitment to character. Make-up is used for effects and style whilst props are used by these characters to reinforce their surroundings or actions portrayed..

  750 Word Essay: The clip begins with Sally Sparrow, the main character of the episode, exploring an abandoned house. As she enters a room filled with discarded photographs, she encounters a series of messages written on the walls. These messages appear to be directed at her, warning her of impending danger. The tension builds as the messages become increasingly urgent, inducing a sense of suspense and fear. The camerawork and cinematography in this Doctor Who clip are notable for creating a heightened sense of unease. The use of low lighting, close-up shots, and quick cuts contributes to a feeling of disorientation and dread. The camera movements mimic Sally's own disconcerting journey through the house, further engaging the audience in her experience.  One of the most significant aspects of this clip is the depiction of the Weeping Angels. These villains are presented as an embodiment of innate fears surrounding statues and the fear of the unknown. The idea that ancient stone sc
