Mise-en scene is a term borrowed from French theatrical expression which simply means ‘placement in a scene’ (Corrigan & White, 2012, 42). It refers to everything that the audience saw in front of the camera was intentionally employed before and during the filming process. It incorporated important elements which can help to convey the genre, develop the character and even carries an emotional roller-coaster. There are settings, lighting, props, actors and performance, costumes and makeup, staging and blocking. For my analysis, I will be choosing an element of Actors and Performances.

Katie is described as a simple woman with simple views of the world but she is not naïve or dumb. Rather, she sees things clearly. At first, she is not interested in politics in the way that she would actually plan to make a career in it. Unlike the stereotype farmer’s daughter, Katie is really outspoken, expressive and knowledgeable in politics. She just believes that the country needs good politicians and she knows when somebody is good and when somebody is not. Her own way into politics happens rather by accident. For example is when she was boldly giving out her opinion and overrules a reporter who refers to Mr Schmidlapp as second-rate. In addition to that, she is dependable, intelligent, good-hearted, loyal and funny woman. She brightens up the screen with a lovely smile and creates a sometimes amusing, but always likeable character. Her comedic character shows up when the audience did not expect it. For example is she used ‘Yuhuu’ when entering other people house for the first time. Rather than feeling shy or awkward, she was just like entering a relative house. Another comedic scene is when Katie had to put on her big uniform. She is just has pure easy going personality that cannot stand any uncomfortable moment. Therefore, she makes a joke to Mr Clancy by using the ‘big uniform’ as a subject and she was able to put a …show more content…
Far from intimidated by the powerful people, Katie was able to express her viewpoint to them. Because of that, Glenn noticed her presence. His feelings of attraction grow when Katie shared more about her story to him and his mother when they were at the stairs. You can easily imagine Glen as a serious person that never really letting loose in his life until Katie came along. This can be seen when Katie sent Glenn’s breakfast at his bedroom. Embarrassed and shocked by her presence in his bedroom, Glenn quickly entered his closet room and put on his robe gown under his pyjamas. Therefore, from the 15 minutes clip that I had choose, the most highlighted genre at that sequences is comedy. The romance and political genres is quite low during the first 30 minutes of the film and I found it just started to increase more after the next 30 minutes of the

She is always quite witty and has an arsenal full of snarky comebacks that she can unleash at any time. When thrown into a tricky situation, she can be unsure of herself, terrified, confused, and excited all at the same time. But when the going gets tough she will always find a way to take care of her loved ones and herself. Nonetheless, she is not your badass character with innate physical strength common to most heroines. Most of the time she will muddle through problems by sheer will, which is what makes her such a brave and personable character that light up the entire

In this paper I hypothesize that A Voyage to the Moon was most innovative in cinematography and editing. Although mise en-scene was the main focus of the film, I hypothesize that mise en scene wasn’t as innovative as the other two.

In Sunset Boulevard (Wilder 1950), the space of mise-en-scene is used to ‘guide the audience 's attention across the screen, shaping the sense of the space that is represented and emphasising certain parts of it ' (Bordwell 2001, p.176). For instance, when Joe Gillis is escaping the repo men at the beginning of the clip, the main focus is the speeding cars coming from the background to the foreground of the shot. Another notable scene is when Norma Desmond 's character lifts the rug and the chimpanzee 's arm flings out and swings back and forth, it instantly captures the audience 's attention. This is done because ‘moving items draw the audience 's attention more quickly than a static item does ' (Bordwell 2001, p.176). This method of presenting action corresponds with the structure of classical Hollywood as it was ‘designed for on-screen events to

This essay will be primarily focusing on editing with the discussion of camerawork where relevant.
