Mise en scene (Final)

Location: We intend to use both an indoor and outdoor environment and for continuity we wish to keep these variables constant throughout filming. We will be using the following locations:

                       - Forest (an outdoor environment with foliage and fairly large trees will portray this)

                       - Bedroom (an indoor environment with a bed and white ceiling will be used)

                       - Bathroom (an eerily lit indoor space with a mirror and sink will be used for this)

Costume/Make up Design: For attire we wish our character Dante to have both a casual but unusual costume design, we will be using:

                        - Black long sleeve under-shirt

                        - Red short sleeve over-shirt

                        - Black and grey scarf

                        - Black trousers

                        - Black Converse trainers

                        - Dark messy short-medium hair

                        - Smeared blood across cheeks (dripping from eyes)

Props: Concerning our props our main focus is on creating an enigma and an atmosphere, both the character Dante and this drug Elysium are intended to be portrayed in this way. For this the following props will be used:

                         - Bottle of pills
                         - Drug capsule
                         - Mirror

Actors: We decided that the most appealing outcome was for one of our group to be the protagonist of this film, this was decided because we know the character better than anyone else, we know how we wish for him to be presented and his mannerisms and personality. We chose Jonathan because his appearance correlates with the character of Dante the most.

                         - Jonathan McChesney

Mise en Scene: We wish for the introduction to our movie to begin fairly bright with warm colours in an outdoor scene with available light illuminating through the trees (Donnie Darko influenced), then artificial light will be used in the indoor (bright warm colours) bedroom environment as the scenes begin to flicker (Matrix influenced), this leads into the bathroom mirror scene (Donnie Darko influenced) which is presented using artificial light and back lighting, ending our introduction is a fairly dark and atmospheric scene in the same forested area as before, artificial lighting (flashlights) will be used to give basic lighting and toning (Dark cold colour design) to the scene (this scene uses the same monochrome with a single highlighted colour art design as Sin City).
