Mise-en-scene blog task



Image result for mise en scene
This is mise-en-scene is taken from the famous 'Titanic'. Jack (Leonardo Di Caprio) is holding Rose (Kate Winslet). The medium shot is taken at a side angle so that the audience can see the characters and the beautiful sunset in the background this creates a sense of romance as they are in a calm scene together and alone. This is set outside and this could mean that because it is just those two, time is passing and that doesn't matter to them as it seems that they mean a lot to each other and that's all that matters to them at that moment. The high-key lighting is very warm, this creates a peaceful atmosphere therefore, it could relate to the theme of love or romance or relationships as the man is hugging the woman; he is showing affection. Also, the lighting destroys any harshness from the characters faces; it could link back to the idea of love because it involves two people who care for each other. You can only see the woman's costume; it is old fashion and this elicits the fact that this was set a long time ago. Also, the fact that no dramatic makeup is used connotes that this was set in the past as they didn't wear much makeup back then. the fact that there aren't any props helps the audience to focus on the actual characters and what is going on. Both of the characters are smiling; this connotes that they are happy and it continues the theme of love and relationships as they both seem happy together.

CASE STUDY: capital

REVIEWS AND FEATURES: 1)POSITIVE POINTS- -"a complicated and brilliant portrait of London life" The Guardian. -"strong performances from a superb ensemble cast" The Telegraph. -"its far more gripping than a drama about the property market sounds" Evening Standard. 2)CRITICISMS- -"an overly schematic tangle of under developed plot lines populated by underwritten characters" The Telegraph. -"it was a disappointment" The Telegraph. 3) 4)The writer says that 'the average house price in London hits £500,000 as Capital's housing market shows no sign of losing steam'. 5)-"housing market and increasing rate of gentrification across London means that Capital's ideas still stand.

CHICKEN- case study

Funding: 1) The budget for chicken was £110,000. 2)Stephenson raised money through investment by individuals; could be rich friends or contacts. 3)The budget is much lower than a popular film as it used less equipment and scences therefore it was cheaper to film unlike an expensive film to make. 4)The BFI Film Fund uses National Lottery funds in order to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films and to increase the audiences. 5)I think that 'Chicken' failed to secure funding from the BFI Film Fund as the topics within the film could potentially make the audience feel uncomfortable therefore, they wouldn't make much money from it. Production: 1)The weather made it difficult to film as most of the shots were filmed outside. 2)The film took 19 days to shoot. 3)The most difficult shots to film were the outside shots. Distribution: 1)In 2014, the film failed to secure a distribution deal due to the BFI not funding the film; it suggested that the film woul...
