Mise – En – Scene

Within this blog post I will be including and discussing the different types of Mise –En – Scene elements we would be using in our one-minute production.

I will be discussing the type of props, settings, structure, Costume (Make up) and characters we would be using within our single camera production.

Props:

§  Computer/Laptop – These props would be used in order to show the element of social networks and the communication they are having through the Internet.

§  Phones (Mobile Phones) – these would be used for other types of communication such as face time, Skype or even normal phone calls.

§  Bedroom Equipment – these would be from school stationery to having laptop chargers, all those typical equipment’s within a teenagers bedroom.

§  Feminine and Masculine products (Make up, Razors etc.) – these would be equipment’s in the bedrooms of each character to show the whole purpose of girls always putting make up on and all sorts.

Disadvantage of these props would be some products would be expensive to hire or get at that time, this indicates that it would make it more harder for the production to go at ease, indicating that the producer would have to use other equipment’s which would make the production less professional

Advantage of these props is that they are showing a more natural and realistic type of environment indicating that it would make the production more of a genuine surrounding and scene.

Setting

§   2 Bedroom

§  2 Houses

§  Living Room

§  Restaurant

§  Park

Structure

Story Board

Within this blog post, it shows the story board our our production and how we want our production to be setting out to be. Within these images it shows the stages and levels on how the production will convey as:

Diary Log 1.2

Diary log - 15/11/2012

In today's lesson we created a clear structure on all of the pre production tasks, that we need to complete to create our one minute single camera production. The tasks are highlighted in a previous blog post and will be updated weekly on what we have completed and what is still outstanding.

We also came up with a production team name and logo, which was "Equilibrium Prod." based on Torodov's narrative theory on equilibrium. The logo was then created on Adobe Photoshop.

We also completed some pre-production tasks today such as;

• identifying our audience
• determining our moral or message of our story
• creating a mood board on our single camera production ideas
• came up with a basic idea/structure on the story of our product
• and create a treatment/proposal, which was created on Prezi, and presented to the client.

Pre-Production 1.2

Introduction

Within this lesson I made sure that I have completed up to 4 criteria’s within the task list.  So I was making sure that these elements were met at the end of lesson. These elements include making a mood board, identifying who our target audience are, what’s the moral/purpose of our single camera production and our overall idea (proposal/treatment)

1)   Equilibrium (Structure of the narrative)

Beginning: Couple meets through a social networking site (Facebook). They think that they are both what they were expecting (Personality wise)

Middle: The boy has a image of how he thinks the girl is like and the same goes to the girl. However within editing techniques there would be a split screen showing what each person is doing.

End: The couple meets up and the boy isn’t what the girl expected, so he doesn’t approve of her and goes away.

2)   Target Audience

Our target audience our small production would be people who are at the age of 16 – 30, who are the ages which are in relationships and use these particular type of social networking sites the most.

3)   Moral

The moral of our production is to “be prepared for the unexpected” and also “Don’t expect what you see or believe until you examine it”.

      
     4) Mood Board
