Evaluation - Mes En Scene

Confrontation Evaluation - Mes En Scene  

For this task we had to come up with an idea for a scene using Mes En Scene involving conflict, we had to do this in a group in my group was myself, Zunie, Hari and Anthony.

We all had different jobs mine was to direct and edit the short thirty second scene for it we all agreed on an idea of a serial killer killing a victim, our resources were limited as we were only allowed to film on college grounds. This set us back a bit as we had planned to film in Coulsdon or Redhill but we managed to change things around and found a quiet area in college to film our scene, on the first time of shooting we managed to get some fake blood together to use on the scene to add more effect too how violent our conflict is but on the second shoot we were not allowed to use the blood which made things difficult so we got as much as we could get and done the best edit we could do with what we had. 

For the camera angles we used a close up on the victims face, and through his persecutive (what he is seeing) and a shot which was me following the killer. We chose not to show his face as we thought it gave more effect and mystery to who the killer was and what did he look like, they do a lot of this in films for example in Seven. For the killer we used a hoodie to show he was the killer and he was committing a crime, i feel like this gave the effect that while the camera was on him he was going off to do something violent/criminal. I feel even thou our scene was agressive i feel putting in the calming music really contrasted with it this made a great effect towards the victim dying used with the clear blue sky as he looks up to it which in a way symbolises heaven i feel like this all came together and with the time and what we were given we really pulled together a really good thirty second clip showing Mes En Scene.
