Mise-en-scene

We have put a lot of thought into mise-en-scene for our opening sequence. We will use appropriate props, clothing, locations and much more.
We will use a ball for the first flashback to add realism to the clip, giving the impression that the two were once friends and had played football together previously.


We will use other props, like tomato ketchup for example to create the impression that the second character (the ghost) is dead. We will spread the tomato ketchup on the floor underneath his head.



We have thought about the costumes both of the characters are going to be wearing. There are two seperate days involved in the opening sequence as well as the flashbacks so we need to have in mind that the main character needs to be wearing different clothing per scene; The second character (the ghost) only appears once, apart from the scene he appears to be dead in a flashback, which means whatever clothing he is wearing don't matter.
He should be wearing casual clothes, like jeans and a shirt for example because the target audience can then relate to the character as they are young adult males and male teenagers. He should have a hint of the "emo" look to show his character is emotional and depressed.
The second character should wear dark clothing, perhaps a hood to connote darkness and help to reveal what type of character he is.

The type of hoody character two will be wearingThis is the type of clothing the main character will be wearing.

All of the locations we will be using we have decided are right for our film, making sure they set the scene for a thriller movie.
