mise-en-scene still image



still image


 the setting of this image is on a main road and this builds expectations of danger and getting to some where in a short period of time, the man is wearing red and black which could also indicate danger and, the calmness of society as the clothing is very casual and down to earth. you can see his mucles and veins which symbolise his strength and power, maybe an indication to how determined and dedicated he is towards what ever he is captivated in. His facial expressions also highlight and enforce the fact that he is determined to do what ever he has been set out for. the background is blurred because of the pace is moving at but also to show emphasis on him only.





                                                                the fault in our stars:


the setting of this still image is in a normal home town by the lake, this is a great place where protagonists usually sit by to think thoughtful thoughts or spend their time. the water is calm this could reflect on the characters emotions, calm and happy with each other this indicates hints of love. The male character in the image is wearing a suit and tie and looks fairly smart, this could demonstrate his feelings to come across as serious and that he's not fooling around about their relationship. The female has a wire going across beneath her nose and we can infer that she is not well, regardless of this they are still happy, this could portray that the feeling of happiness does not have to be with materialistic proof. Both the characters facial expressions are cheerful, this could highlight and represent their relationship. some parts of the background are blurred, this may be to add emphasis on the fact that nothing else matters but the happiness of the two.


the purge

The setting of the image is unknown, this automatically seems mysterious and may leave questions in the minds of the viewers, then we come to think of why he is wearing a mask and not a doctors mask or a niqab but an unusual mask that is only seen in the circus and amusement parks. also we see that he is wearing a plaster on his finger this may be because of some vulgar rough activity. He is also wearing a hooded jumper which people use when they are working out or are training, all of these questions the arise in our minds. what is he training for? is it dangerous? why is he covering his face for no apparent reason? where is he? why is his whereabouts anonymous? why does his hand look like its about to grab something? as all of these questions are unleashed to the viewers it creates fear of him in us. nearly everything in this picture is unknown even his facial expressions, and this is not backed up so it definitely creates a sense of fear. On his mask it says 'God' and God to the believers of God is omnipotent ,all powerful and its like the man in the image is illustrating and claiming that he has all power. this makes us think, is he abusing the power he has? 

the hangover

This image shows a man with large headphones wearing mufflers over them. the fact that he is wearing mufflers is because he wants to listen to his music in peace without any distractions however the humour of  this is that, it doesn't work like that. its just a creative thought and idea and is not scientifically proven. this makes us think hes funny because he doesnt know that it wont work. what emphasises on the humour is the props, he is wearing smart clothing and you'd think he supposed to be smart and would know that the theory of the mufflers will not work. in the background there is a lady laughing, now we dont know if shes laughing at him or something else but this also indicates and foreshadows that this film is full of laughter and hysteria.
