 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. For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original. 
  • Costume - I will have Jordan wear similar clothing to Rocky training montage e.g. grey tracksuit.
  • Lighting - I will try have the background lighting the same as in Rocky. 
  • Actor placement, movement, expression - I will try record the exact same movements as in Rocky.
  • Make-up and hair - I will try use the same hair type. 
  • Props - I will try and use the same head band. 
  • Setting - I will try and use a similar setting. 

3) Write a script and shot list of every shot you will need for the 30-60 second recreation. Use as much detail as possible or alternatively take screenshots of the original scene to help you. Use the BBC Writers' Room script library to see what real film and TV scripts look like. For your shot list, you can create a table or list of every shot in the scene you are recreating. Here's an example from a previous Media student's coursework. Side shot of him jogging past the boat. Front shot of him doing push-ups. 

4) Film your scene using one of your phones - we have phone tripods you can sign out from Mr Ray in DF06 if you need one. Alternatively, you can sign out a Canon DSLR if you'd like a more cinematic experience. 

5) Edit your video to recreate 30-60 seconds of the original clip as accurately as possible. Add music if it is in the original scene. 

6) Export your finished video, upload it to YouTube and post it to your blog along with a 100-word explanation of your work.

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...
