Mis-en-scene Necessities

Hey blog! Today we had another B day, so my group was able to meet and discuss our film opening. We are not one hundred percent certain on our idea, but we are all leaning towards the one previously discussed. We all think it would be cool to do the ironic stalker movie, but are still brainstorming the best ways to make it work. However, we know a few mutual scenes that we want to include in the piece. Thinking between the scenes, we picked some necessary mis-en-scene that we think would work.

One scene that is essential is the girl burying a dead body. For this scene, we want her dress to be in white. It would show a contrast in the dirt that would be on it from the shovel, and keep the ironic theme present. The white usually represents clean and innocence, both of which is not the scene. As well, it will be done at night with little lighting. We think this would add emphasis to the overall plot, creating the suspense. We want the girl to have a voice over, not directly talking to the camera but only focusing on her actions. Finally, we want to make an emphasis with the makeup. With mascara running all over and lipstick smeared everywhere, we think this would help to create the overall mood of the scene.

Another part we considered adding was an arrange of photos of the "boy" being stalked in the beginning, as sort of a flashback. As we do not know if this will be the exact idea, we know we one hundred percent want a flashback. The lighting will be brighter and the pixels more blurred, emphasizing that the scene is from the past. The voice over will most likely continue here, keeping the film opening constant with technique.

These were our overall ideas discussed for the mis-en-scene ideas for the idea. We are going to keep working on something along the lines of this, and incorporate it into a cool and memorable film opening.
