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.
  • The location that perhaps is not so effective is the press ups as it’s clearly a living room / domestic space rather than a boxing ring or gym-type location. One to consider for future projects.
  • The other big bit of feedback from this project is the audio tracks. The music works but you still have the audio tracks from the video which means you can hear the direction and instructions to actors. It’s not related to mise-en-scene but it’s a great lesson for future editing projects as you need to edit with headphones on or audio up and check your work carefully before exporting. In this case, you needed to either drag the video file only on to the timeline or alternatively drop the volume from the video clips down to zero so we can’t hear the instructions to actors.

2) Type up a summary of the feedback you have had from the rest of the class - bullet points is fine.

Record the push-up scene in a boxing gym 

The camerawork and the acting was both good 

The setting of where I shot the running scene

3) Use all the feedback you've been given to write your own self-assessment of your video using WWW (What Went Well) and EBI (Even Better If...)

WWW - The acting and the actor placement were both good, the scene where the boxing coach said you're going to get them.

EBI - The setting for the push-ups, did it in a house, do it in the boxing gym.

4) Now reflect on your own work in more detail. How did your planning (script, shot list) help clarify and develop your ideas?

5) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, audio levels etc.)

6) Finally, what have you learned regarding the importance of mise-en-scene in film and television? Write a paragraph to answer this.

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. The lighting in Blade Runner heavily draws from film noir, with added futuristic elements to enhance the movie’s themes of identity, morality, and the blurred line between human and machine.  The use of low-key lighting...

  1. BLADE RUNNER seems to be a apolitical, dystopian story that makes a detective or agent chase robots to exterminate them and throughout the entire movie he and his colleagues question why they exterminate these robots.   2. The genre seems to be a SCI-FI, Action, Dystopian film which focuses on 2 detectives trying to get out of the matrix  which is a parallel universe to where normal Earth is. 3. The target audience would be young adults - older adults as they're guns and violence in the film. 1.
