PLANNING -Post 30- Planning Mise-en-scene Ideas

Task 1:

   Finding and Planning the location and setting;

Task 2:

      Planning costume ideas:


Bella from 'Twilight' -

• Make up: Light/ pale skin, dark under-eye (vampire look)
• Wardrobe:  Casual clothes- hoodie, jeans and t shirt

Regina from 'Mean Girls' -

• Make up: Typical high school girl make up:  lip-gloss, mascara, blush and foundation
• Wardrobe; Mostly pink, light colours like white, red, pink (warm tones)

Carrie from 'Carrie' -

• Make up: Natural, no signs of make up, messy hair or just brushed
• Wardrobe: Young teenage girl- dresses, skirt, shirt (modest)

• Talulah Green // She's a reckless teenager and is involved in crime and drug related incidents- wrong place at the wrong time
• Role in title sequence; tries not to get caught, runs away, gets into trouble but doesn't get caught
• A bad girl
• Member of a group that's to do with drug dealing, by mistake

          The black leather jacket along with the black ripped skinny jeans gives off a rock chick look or someone who is not particularly picky about fashion. Black doesn't stain or isn't just for one occasion, can be worn to any occasion. Black is also hard to notice at night time- to characters advantage. Dark also suggests rebellion and being reckless and so is the teenager herself.

Task 3:

       Planning production- Props

Prop 1: Bracelet

• Worn on hand (so visible)
• When being dragged at the end of film opening we see the stalkers bracelet is the same as the young girls'
• any bracelet
• Choice of bracelet as it is something a girl would wear (symbolism)
• Purpose is to make the audience question why the stalker is wearing the same one

Prop 2: Necklace

• Worn around the neck under the hoodie, but over the t shirt
• Dangling down when tripping onto the ground, may get caught in the twigs on the ground when about to be dragged
• The stalker would have to have the same necklace, also to be shown on camera but no face
• It is symbolism especially fort the audience, hinting a link between the stalker and her

Task 4:

       Planning production- Bringing together all mise-en-scene ideas

• FILM IDEA: Teenage girl is running through the woods (Twilight). She looks back to see if the individual is still chasing her, she hits her face/upper arm on a branch and rips hoodie- signs of bleeding. Flashback appears. She continues running then trips, her necklace or bracelet gets caught on the ground, stalker reaches her and grabs her by the feet, she takes her last breath.
• KEY PROPS: A bracelet or a necklace worn on her left wrist/ neck. Natural make up. Sweat. Blood when she gets hurt.
• LOCATIONS: A forest and a candy/toy shop.
• SETTINGS: Inside the forest. Outside the candy/toy shop as well as the inside.
• COSTUME: Casual clothing throughout for the main character and her friends in the shop. The stalker wears all black: coat, hat, glasses and shoes.
• LIGHTING: Dark lighting in the forest but still light enough to see her running, Dim lighting in the shop to make it more sinister. Dark setting outside the dim shop.
