planning the mise-scene

Throughout duration of our opening scene we have a range of different setting which helps to ratifies different emotions to the audience, each setting is different and is meant to have a different emotion. my group has four locations all aimed to have a different effect on the reader. We start in an abandoned location were there is a lot of gore and blood highlighting that the killing is very dangerous. And when the women is captured the audience will automatically refer back to this scene and think that this may happen to the women. There is also iconography in this scene where the finger heart and axe. this all have the connotations of pain and danger. By starting the scene like this the audience already are faced with an enigma making the scene more engaging. The second setting is the dark gloomy alley way were the young women see our decoy who is there to throw the audience off the sent of the killer, plus building up suspense. The setting is dark and mysterious and give the impression of danger.The iconography used in this scene is a phone, the way in which the decoy brings it out of his coat and the heightening of sound will give the impression it is weapon, however it is only a phone.the previous scene is very important as it makes scene three come as a massive shock that a police officer would be standing there. The third scene is under an under path where it is very mysterious and dangerous looking connecting with with the look of the police officer. The iconography in this scene will be an injection which is used to drug the women. This is a mysterious weapon as the audience do not no the effect it has on the women.

My group have used a police officers costume. the blue costume signifies trust which is a common denotation of a police officer. however we change this denotation and change it round where the officer is actually the killer. We will contrast the denotation of a police officer and connect it with our narrative which is mysterious. therefore exhilarating our audience. this makes the audience more intensified by the shock of the of the officer killing  young women which makes our film more engaging. in addition this creates an enigma therefore intensifying the narrative. make up is very important so our group decided to follow natural codes and convention of a thriller film. where the innocent women is very pale to highlight the women's innocents and pure this will ratify to the audience she is innocent and has done nothing wrong therefore making them feel sorry for her.  

Throughout our opening scene we will use a lot of low key lighting to hide the face of the killer and the decoy creating a mysterious feel for the audience, by hiding the face of both characters It will create suspense. By using low key lighting it will create a mysterious enigma. We have a range of different colours to create different effects. The light covered clothing has the connotations of pure and Innocent which will connect with the impression we want to give the audience of the women. The black coat the decoy will be wearing will have the dark connotations of a killer to throw the audience off the scent of the real killer. The colour of the injection. facial expressions and Our body language of the decoy will be very mysterious and dangerous to give the impression that the women is in danger. We will also use his facial expression of the decoy to have similarity's with his body language to connote the dangerous feel to the audience.

Throughout the opening scene we will use positioning to highlight the importance of our charters. In scene where there is only one main charter we will focus the cameras on the main character to show the audience the importance of that character. where there are many main characters we will position the camera in the place where the character with the most power can been seen.
