Mise-en-scene

  The movie I chose for the mise-en-scene is 2008 movie starring Liam Neeson in Taken. The movie begins with high key lighting footage of Maggie Grace’s character, Kim, as a five-year-old girl celebrating her birthday. Soon after that scene, it cuts to Liam Neeson’s character Bryan Mills as he wakes up alone in his living room from a dream that turns out to be a flashback of his daughter’s birthday. The sudden change from high-key lighting to low-key lighting shows the audience that something sad has happened to Bryan. The dark lighting changes the viewers emotions so that they feel what Bryan is expressing which is depression, exhaustion, and loneliness which is represented by him sitting alone in an empty living room. After the first couple of scenes, Bryan shows up to his daughters’ birthday as she is much older now. The setting changes from a dark and gloomy living room to a bright and sunny outdoor birthday party. This change in setting is used to disregard the past se...

These clips are from the 2018 horror/thriller move known as Bird Box  This scene is what I chose for symbolism because Tom(Trevante Rhodes) and Malorie(Sandra Bullock) were together and Tom asked to feel Malorie's stomach because she was pregnant at the time and when the camera zooms in on their hands together, there is a transition to Malorie and the kids on the boat years later and the camera was focused on the hands of the kids as they were on top of each other like Tom and Malorie.  This scene is for contrast because at first it shows Malorie years after the entity broke out and she had her baby already. She is seen in the boat as very stressed out while trying to contact someone then there is a transition to Malorie just a couple of years before. She is seen here trying to contact someone as well but in a calm manner. She was also pregnant before so that is also the contrast. This is definiton of contrast because it shows different emotions, times, and locations of the s...

Symbolism: I chose to take a picture of a playground and then film an actual playground. I think represented the symbolism shot just a little but I could have done something better such as filming the coffee in my kitchen then filming at Starbucks. Contrast: I filmed myself typing and writing notes in a quiet atmosphere in my room then me sleeping at a park with loud music. I think this is good for contrast because at first I was being productive in a quiet atmosphere and then I was asleep with loud music playing.  Parallelism: I filmed me and someone walking to each other and hugging. This is good for parallelism because we were both walking to each other. Leitmotif: So for this one I put the music from the movie Bad Boys. Hopefully people recognize the song on their  own. I think this okay but I could have chose the song from Indiana Jones since I was outside. Simultaneity: I recorded one side of the park when it was empty and soothing then I filmed the other side that was f...
