Mise-en-scene

Create a Mise-en-scene blogpost planning everything that will appear in front of the camera in your two-minute film trailer.  Remember  CLAMPS : Costume, Lighting, Actors (cast, placement and movement), Make-up, Props, Setting. Costume What will your characters wear? What is the costume supposed to communicate to the audience? How does this link to your Statement of Intent in terms of creating representations? Throughout my production, i aim to use traditional attire that is associated with my genre e.g. Hoodies, tracksuits, trainers, mayne some jewellery. In simple terms, the characters will be wearing informal clothing to set a tone for the production. I also aim to use typical football gear like training tracksuits, football boots, etc to show my characters passion to do better and stay away from troubled teens. This links to my statement of intent as i aim to show the audience how my character uses football as a way to escape from the negative stereotypes linked to yout

Statement of intent

1st draft The type of film i will be trying to create is a coming of age drama called 'Truth Be Told'. At first i was going to only use POV shots from the protagonists view point to create enigma codes but within films, the camera repeated shows the protagonists face to clearly identify props character theory. The stages in terms of locations would be from the protagonists house, to football, then on a bridge where the altercation occurs. The last 2 locations are where the main action happens with the scene. The short scene would effectively be about a black boy who is confronted by a group of boys who threaten to come back after his football session. After his session, he leaves the compound and finds the boys waiting for him in a big group. They rush him leaving the protagonists badly injured.
