Mise en Scene
The Mise en Scene I plan to use in my thriller:
- Lighting:
Low key lighting will be used throughout our thriller opening and during the scene when the female victim is being attacked. I have chosen to use this because it is conventional to thriller as everything happens at night time. It also helps to builds up a tense atmosphere and create fear towards the audience as it will creates different connotations within the viewers.
- Setting:
In our thriller opening, the first setting will be outside the street where the female victim is walking home alone. I have chosen to use this as a start-up point for our thriller to builds up slowly as the scenes goes on. As the female victim is walking home alone in the street at night time, this will makes the audience to anticipates that she could be in danger and could be followed.
The main setting will be at home. I have chosen to use this because it is conventional to thriller as it reminds the audience that the safest place can turns to be the most dangerous place where there's no escape. This will helps to creates different connotations towards the audience and to create a fearful atmosphere and builds up tension within the scene.
- Iconography:
The iconography we plan to use in our thriller will be a knife as a weapon which is used to attack the female victim. And the make-up is used to make her wounds/injuries look more real and believable. I have chosen to use this because it is conventional to the thriller genre and helps to creates different connotations and intentions towards the audience.
- Costume:
Our female victim will be wearing a white jumper, light blue jean and a jacket whilst walking home. She will then get change into her pyjamas which is a red jumper and short. I have chosen for her to wear this because the light colour shows that she is innocent and vulnerable which will makes the audience to feel sympathy towards her.
Our antagonist will be wearing a black jean, black hoody and black jacket. I have chosen for him to wear this because the dark colour shows that he is secretive, mysterious and scary which will makes the audience to feel scared towards his character.
- Body Language / Facial expression:
The antagonist will be presented as the evil character, his body language will be tough, strong and threatening. His facial expression will be cold-blooded with no emotions, eyes gazing towards the victim.
The female victim will be presented as an innocent character, her body language will look vulnerable, petite and weak. Her facial expression will be sweet, pretty/girly as a typical white/blonde girl.
