Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response

  Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response Create a new blogpost called ' Mise-en-scene video feedback and learner response '. Make sure your completed recreation video is uploaded to YouTube and embedded in the blogpost. 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full. It’s brilliant to get your first practical piece of work completed and uploaded – video editing is annoying at first but the more you do it the more it all makes sense. Practice is everything! In terms of mise-en-scene, costume is a strength with the grey tracksuit matching the original Rocky scene really well. You’ve also got the riverside/canal location that fits with the original.

  Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list: Create a blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene recreation planning' and complete the following tasks: 1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students  MUST  edit their  OWN  version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with. I filmed with Sheldon and his brother (Jordan) 2) Create a  plan  of how you will do the recreation using  CLAMPS .

Make-up and hair - I will try use the same hair type.  Props - I will try and use the same head band....

Her hair is done nicely and looks very posh and smart. The man is wearing a dark tie and suit which suggests he is going to work or to an interview. Marnie uses chiaroscuro (light dark) to emphasise the light and the dark bits in the photo shown. They all use hard-lighting which bright harsh key lights which produce shadows making it's scene look tough and angular.  The matrix  The costume   are very similar for both scenes but are  used extremely differently.

Make notes on the genre and particularly the use of lighting - bullet points are fine.  Blade Runner is a quintessential example of the neo-noir and sci-fi genres. The film’s distinctive visual style, particularly its use of lighting, plays a crucial role in creating its atmospheric and dystopian world.
