Planning: MES: Mr Smith.

The role of Mise en Scene in a thriller is important because it allows the audience to grasp meaning and responding to what they are watching. It is also important because all the various elements play along with the storyboard to help reveal the narrative.

The five sections of Mise en Scene are: 

Setting- 

In my group we chose to set out thriller in a normal dark room in a house. The rooms we are using the most are living room and bathroom. We chose this type of setting to show that our characters live together and share an intimate bond. 

Iconography- 

The iconography we are using is blood, glass, frames,guns and lipstick. The blood will be used to represent violence and hatred. The frames will represent the reality of their relationship breaking down and that she is over it, this is the same for broken glass. The lipstick will portray the confidence of the character.

Costume- 

Carlie: 

Grey casual clothes 

Natural make up (dripping by the end)

Big curlie hair 

Lashane: 

All black clothing 

Zelal:

All black clothing 

Dark lipstick and nails 

Straight, long hair. 

Lighting- 

The lighting we will use is low key lighting, candles and a smokey atmosphere. The low key lighting is being used because it is conventional to a thriller and will build tension. The smokey atmosphere created by the candels will build anxiety within our audience.

Colour- 
The colour we will use is black and grey. These colours are being used because they are dark and represent things such as grieving, depression, stress and devastation. They also convey that no one is innocent or pure.

Conclusion. 

To conclude the planning of my groups MES, it shows how important it is to plan ever aspect so that your audience withdraw the correct message from what you are showing to them and also that your scene conveys the right emotions towards your spectators.
