Mise-en-scene Blog task
Image result for images from movies

The costume, visible to the eye is a black coat connoting danger and mystery. The clothing blends in with the dark and dull background suggesting the genre is horror. This allows the audience to believe something terrible or terrifying is to appear. Also the clothes has synergy between her expressions. Her facial expressions seem to be confused and quite curious in the situation that is being held as if something has terribly spooked her. There is no makeup being shown therefore she is not the victim  of a horror film yet a target. The look on her face makes her skin look pale since she is in a vulnerable position. I believe the makeup is being revealed through her expression as her face looks concerned which can be made through make up. Furthermore, the high key top lighting enhances her  expressions as it draws the audience immediately to her face. The setting is very ambiguous as it only shows the ceiling that is being projected with top lighting. There is a sense of realism portrayed from the high-key lighting. The image also shows back lighting creating a contrast of light and dark imagery. As u see in the image, some of the skin is covered in darkness due to back lighting



The costume that consists in this trailer is casual clothes that are acceptable in a school environment and police uniform since the two victims are undercover cops. The trailer is mostly set in a school therefore, the lighting is always bright due to the support of the sun. The scenes mostly consist of top lighting to enhance the actors facial expressions. Top lighting is predominately used to make the film stars look glamorous therefore, 21 jump street has perfectly used that to its advantage. A lot of tracking and pan shots were used to track the movements of the two main actors.  The placements of different actors was well placed and appropriate to the shot since the audience don't feel disorientated when watching the film due to the placement of actors. Cars , weapons were the most used props since the genre of the movie is action/comedy. There is a school party in the movie therefore, the props used for that had to be food, cups and drinks. The setting is mostly situated in a school due to the undercover cops investigating a school.
Since it is a superhero movie, the costume consisted in this movie is the superhero suit for aquaman and his companions. The movie uses mostly under lighting to show more of the facial expressions that are used when actors give dialogues. When under lighting is used, it makes the character seem superior and dominant due to the bright light being placed predominately on his face. Also a lot of high key lighting is used to show realism when there is a fight scene underwater. Aquaman's scenes are mostly fast paced therefore the movement of actors are very quick to build tension for the audience. For example, in a fight scene the main characters move really fast due to the super powers so the camera movement needs to be quick and shaky to patch the speed of the characters. When a shot is taken, the placement of the actors are correctly placed. In this movie, there is a tribe who live underwater and look different from any other human living above. This means that to differentiate the two species, make up must of been applied to show contrast between them. The setting is situated on earth but also underwater. Usually in other movies the main setting is either a school or a building however, in this movie the main setting is underwater due to the narrative plot. 
The wolf of wall street is based on a business company therefore, the costumes that are involved are suits and other formal clothes that associate with a business man. Lighting is not that effective in this movie since the movie is situated indoors however, there are some scenes where the film uses high-key lighting to emphasis the realism when an actor is effected by some sought of drug. The audience should see the effect of a drug and how painful it is; Wolf of Wall Street depicts that with high key lighting. There are many creative camera angles one which makes the actor seem intimidating and the other making him/her seem vulnerable. This is further evident with the positioning of the actor. The props used in this film is especially drugs which is the driving force of the narrative and exchange of money. Money is also very valuable in this movie since its all based on earning a ton of income. The setting is situated in a building full of workers and that is where all the magic happens. Another setting was in the mansion which is earned through the income created in the CEO building.
