Mise En Scene Analysis

Lighting- throughout our opening sequence the lighting and colours will be dark and dull to help represent a gloomy and eerie atmosphere. This also helps to convey that the film is part of the Thriller genre.

Location- we are going to set most of our shots in cambridge town in the evening as it an easy accessible location for all of us and the fact that the use of the old town buildings and spacious fields helps to create a dramatic atmosphere.

Costume- the protagonist will be dressed in casual clothes underneath a black long coat. This helps to create the idea the character is of mature age and the idea that this is part of her daily routine.
The antagonist will not be seen in the clip except for his eyes and hands, however they will be dressed in all black to create a sense of mysteriousness and suspicion.

Props- in our opening sequence we will be using many different props that help to link to the narrative of our film such as; a newspaper article, books, letters, magnify glass, the weapon and pictures. All of these props help to uncover another clue in the story and about the antagonist.
