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. Steve and Becky are both very lazy people, however in this scene Becky is dressed and has her makeup done, which shows she is feeling ready and is excited for steves big day. Costumes and makeup, for the other charcters, show off effort and time they have put in, just for steves birthday. This shows a contrast between steves day and the other characters day, and how they are feeling individually.  Lighting: The light

Kuleshov Effect Videos In Wymondham town centre we filmed many short clips of videos of members of the public watching our Kuleshov Effect video. We then asked them to identify the emotion they believe the character is showing after each clip. We asked a range of people and then created a short video which showed their replies. We also asked some of the members of the public about films from a set of questions we had created.  At the end of the 3 videos we explained that in fact the character clip hasn't changed in any of the 6 times they saw it and it is actually the Kuleshov Effect of seeing a particular image sandwiched between a person that has put this thought into their minds.
