(POST 12) Him & Her

Him and Her- scene 2: For this task we got given, we have to pick a scene out of him and her, and produce some paragraphs on a particular part of mise-en-scene. I choose costume and makeup and also lighting. Costume and Makeup: In this scene, its Steve's birthday, and he is ill, which gives us a sense of unexcitment and sadness. Steve is wearing a dressing gown in bed, which implies that he is feeling lazy and wants to relax. Even though its his birthday, his costume and makeup shows that he is feeling unwell and doesn't want to communicate with anyone.

This would make this scene more tense and dramatic, making the situation seem more helpless. The wind would die down after Mr. Beaver told them to stop because Edmund's the bait. This would show the realisation, and having to accept Edmund leaving until they find Aslan. --- show how this was done Non-Diagetic Sound Needed: Music: Possibly not needed, but it could be used quietly when coming to see the homely Beavers' Dam, or the tense moment at the end where I suggested the wind could be, thi...

(POST 29) Working with a script 10 - Directing style

 - Directing Style In this production we are mostly going to create our own style with aspects of Hitchcock moulded into this, We have chosen to use aspects of Hitchcock style as he mostly relies of the visual medium making sound secondary, therefor the audience don't need the sound to gather what is happening rather the emotions they will be portraying will be fare of informative. we feel that this would be visually interesting and allows up to build on the creation of Narnia as every shot builds on the ambience of Narnia.     Secondly Hitchcock uses suspense as a main part of his style building it up with his steady development of plot allowing the tension to build, this relates to the moment the children find out their prophecy therefor we will slowly building up the anticipation throughout the scene creating an interesting scene for the audience to view.     Lastly another part of Hitchcock style is creating a whimsical setting, this relates ...
