Mise consideration

Our Film is a Thriller so we have had to consider the mise from other Thriller films and what mise they have used and how we can incorporate the same ideas in our film. Mise is a vital part in a film as it gives the audience hints about what is going on in the film.

Mise comprises of; Lighting, Location, Costume & Props.

Lighting
As a group we have spoken about how we wanted our film to look and what lighting would be the best. We decided we wanted the lighting to be low so it gave it that tense feeling etc. Before we go out and film, we already know what lighting we want to use so therefore, it will make it much easier when we go out and film. Also in lighting we want the scene where the male protagonist is laying in his room looking sad, lonely and depressed in his room.

Location 
We wanted to make sure we chose the best location for shooting our film that portrayed the film in the best way and also looked effective. We looked at many locations near and around Chelmsford (Where we live) and we came up that we would use a residential area in Chelmsford called Crompton Street  to shoot where our male protagonist would walk across a block of houses. We also are going to use a member in our group father's house to shoot the exterior shots of the male protagonist.

Costume
We wanted the male to be dressed in  casual wear to represent the teenage alpha male he is. Also we wanted the male to be dressed preferably in Khaki trousers a jumper and a leather jacket, this made him look more as a young adult that a young child. However, we wanted the mother of the male protagonist to be dressed in casual wear which was jeans and top which shows connotations of a housewife to represent that she is a danger and she also matches the male to show a clear connection to them both.

It has helped to consider the mise as we know what the best mise we must use and how it is going to be effective for our film opening.
