Mise En Scene

Mise-en-scene

iconography- we will be bedroom including a bed lighting  desk chair and bathroom, this links with our thriller idea as our title is paranormal sleepover which in the title suggests would most likely have to be staged in a bedroom and therefore that is the idea we are going for. Extra props included will be an Ouija board which links in with the paranormal aspect of our title, this all intwines to make our opening scene relevant to our group narrative. This is conventional to thriller films as the set of the bedroom will be relevant to our title and can be staged easily with space.

facial expressions and body language - our facial expressions and body language at the start of the scene will be happy and joyful as anyone young teenager is when there with their friends at a sleepover telling secrets etc, but towards the end of the scene when the mishaps start to occur it will change completely and the expressions will turn into scared and shocked. This will link into thriller films as the face will change showing shock and horror towards the audience which will allow the audience to be able feel the emotions the cast are going through.

location - We will be using a premier inn in Buckhurst Hill as we need a bedroom with space to use and the room at this hotel matches our exact requirements for our opening scene.

costumes -  We will be using 'lazy' clothing such as tracksuits and pyjamas as we are at a sleepover however the demon will be dressed in all black with a hood so the face in concealed creating an enigma towards our scene.

lighting- Our lighting will start fairly light with secondary lighting surrounding the room but with the plot and when the demon comes the room will become smokey with the back light shining through the window which will give the effect of something scary happening which links in completely with thriller films.

colours -

position of characters - The main cast consisting of the girls will be in the centre of the camera throughout the whole of the scene however when the demon arrives he will be able to be seen in the background of the shot, this will link in to the thriller genre as the demon is behind the main cast showing how he may be haunting them and it was be seen by the audience as creepy or eery.
