My group and I have been discussing mis-en-scene such as costumes and the way we want to portray our characters. Personally, the first thing I realize in a film is what the characters are wearing whether it be clothing, jewelry, or other accessories. I think I pay such attention to these aspects because I try to be fashionable and gain inspiration from what other actresses/actors are wearing. I actually think a lot of inspiration can be gained from paying attention to mis-en-scene. Mis-en-scene by definition is "The arrangement of everything that appears in the framing- actors, lighting, decor, props, costume."
I realized mis-en-scene can also dramatically allude to the tone of the film. For example, in the excerpt from "Pushing Daisies"shown in class, the vibrant colors create a magical vibe which makes sense- considering the protagonist has the power to bring people back to life. The colors along with several other factors prove the show is based off fantasy and not real life events. For these reasons, I want to make sure my group pays more attention to the minor details with lighting, color, and costume/sound in our film opener.
Since our film is an action thriller, the mis-en-scene should correlate. The film opening should not involve any bright color pallets or slow music, but dark colors and upbeat/suspenseful songs. At the end of the film opening, every decision on my group's behalf should make sense and be strategically placed for a specific reason.
