Mise-en-scene is a french term which refers to everything that is put into the scene or frame. These elements are:
-set
-props
-actors
-lighting
-space
-costume
What is put into a scene or taken out of one can have a huge impact on the signals received by the audience about what kind of film it is, and how they feel at that moment in time.
Here is a video which tells us about mise-en-scene
I based Alissa's character on Regine Dandridge from the horror movie 'Fright Night ' (1985). Her character wears a long sleeved red dress and has black hair, this is what I wanted Alissa to look like
Props I will use are:
-fake blood
-large black bag
-hair band
- a bible
Alissa will be wearing polished black shoes. This is because I want the audience to know that before she changed she was quite nerdy and posh and it will be a huge shock when she is possessed.
Before Alissa transformation she will be wearing a long black skirt. This suggests to the audience that she is young and good as she shows minimal skin.
Before Alissa is possessed by the devil, she is a sweet innocent girl. This will be show in mise-en-scene as she will be wearing a white blouse which symbolises innocence and vulnerability.
The main character Alissa will wear a red dress, it will be a massive contradiction to her previous costume but this will represent how the devil is taking over her as before she was a sweet innocent girl. It is like she is becoming a new person. She will also be wearing red lipstick; this shows how previously she was a good girl, she did not wear any makeup.
Alissa will wear red high heels, Red symbolises many things, Love, danger, but in this instance it will express blood and the devil taking over an innocent girl.
Darcie will wear a basic black top
