Mise-En-Scene, St Georges College

We decided to give another point of view of the school. in this picture. We wanted to give this vintage, abandoned look/feeling that’s why we had the shot in black and white, also interpretatating as an old shot. The shade reflected on the white (baldosa) also gives a sinister inderect effect. the old fallen leaves inside the sink contrast with the fresh water coming down, leaving the impression of Hisotry coming back to life, as if it wanted the dead leafs to have life again. May be interpretated in many ways.

Mise-en-scene (continued)

After seeing the first part of the film "Rear Window" we can see that it starts with the opening credits showing as a background three windows in which the curtains open and shows you in a general view and way the outside life is. It shows the different families and people inside and outside their houses and buildings doing what they usually do every day, it makes a feeling of a common and typical summer day.

The camera first stays still showing the curtains opening and the opening credits. It can be seen the city view by the position of someone looking through the window what his neighbors are doing. When the curtains are fully opened, the camera starts going forward and zooming in what it gives you a sense of control of every situation of your neighbors. Then the camera starts zooming out and enters again to the first room where it is a man sweating

Mise-en-scene "The Last Emperor"

This shot from The Last Emperor manages to convey a sense of power and majesty, of an exotic culture, but also hints at an end to this way of life. It does this by the position of the characters that seem to do a reverence to the emperor, what represents respect, domination and discipline. All characters are separated in different sectors depending in the colour of their custome, they are all ubicated with the same position, what represents order. It seems to be a kind of ritual to the emperor because the set has objects and decoration that represents that. It can be noticed that is an asiatic country because they have an special culture and has a common temple of those countries. The photograph is a long-shot angle because it shows you the whole set without making any zoom in anything or anyone. Characters make a corridor with a large carpet in the floor for letting the emperor pass through and reach the temple. It has low lightening and the sky is grey and cloudy for create a sense of "the end" or that something bad it's going to happen.
