'My Secret Diary' Mise-en-scene

Costume

 My characters will be wearing casual clothing so jeans, hoodies, cropped tops. I would like my characters to be wearing modern, westernised clothing to make it seem more realistic. I want it to communicate that these young teens have grown up in UK, West London and have adapted to the modern day look. 

 Milissa's mum will be wearing traditional clothing so that the audience can understand she is quite conservative and she follows religion. 

Lighting

 I would like my lighting to look natural, and will want to film during the day in order to get the natural lighting. Most of my shots will be interior but even the exterior shots will be filmed during the day. I think i might use reflected sunlight to create a softer but emotionally intense atmosphere. 

Actors

 I will be using the same actors that i used for my preliminary task, this is because I wanted to look at the same representations and also I am familiar with how the people work. 

Props

My main prop will the Milissa's secret diary that is the most significant piece. This is because the diary is the reason why Milissa runs away and why her parents were disappointed with her as she kept all these secrets and it was not like her to do so, well that's what they though.  

Setting

For settings, I will be using my actors' homes, this is because I believe it will add to the realistic aspect and would further reinforce the representations of an Asian family.  I will be using the school corridors for my film, i will film after school that way i can make sure people are not around and that I can have a clear audio. Also, I will use a nearby park or field to show Milissa running away.

Mise-en-scene task

In this picture we can see that there are two very different costumes: one which is very robotic and futuristic and the other that is futuristic but heroic as well. There are a few people who are wearing the same costume where their faces are hidden suggesting that they all do the same job and work for the same person. Their costumes have shiny metallic look enhancing the futuristic robot aspect of it. The other actor who looks like he is on a mission is wearing  long drape over his shoulders suggesting he is from another region than those storm troopers. That actor looks like he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time suggesting he is a good-hearted  character. The lighting suggests that it is quite early in the morning for these people, but also the setting suggests that this has been set on another planet suggesting to someone who hasn't seen this film that it comes under the Sci-fi genre. Also, in the background, you can see these futuristic dystopian buildings enhancin

Sound analysis

Clockwork Orange (1971) The director is suggesting that that the family is quite obnoxious, every chance they get they will start to argue and cause a commotion. The family is immature and violent as they start to fight in public. The director has used fast paced non diegetic sound such as a voice over as well as contrapuntal sound. The use of classical music played over a fight scene suggests that it is humorous and that things like this have happened before. It also suggests that their family is not taken seriously by many people because they seem to be very violent. The variation of pitch from high to low added a quite dramatic effect but also added tension to the scene, while the classical music calmed the viewers at the same time. Funny Games (2001) The director is suggesting that this family quite modern and accepting of all sorts of music. The use of diegetic sound was important because the characters dialogue was in another language which gave the audience a better

Capital: Representation questions

To what extent do the  representations  in Capital reflect the  concerns of modern 21st century London life?   [25 marks] To some extent I agree that the representations in Capital reflects the concerns of the modern 21 st  century London life. Capital provides us with a range of representations that vary because of people’s social class, ethnicity and wealth. These representations focus on some concerns such as immigration, wealth and job security. Within the opening scene of the flash back, the audience are shown Petunia’s past and how things have changed since then. The passing of time suggests how society has changed and developed over the years and how London is now made up of several different cultures. London is presented as quite diverse and accepting of people with different backgrounds and suggests that this is because of the increase of immigration. During the opening scene, Petunia mistakes Ahmed’s ethnicity which suggest that the representation of Asian people i
