Our thriller mise-en-scene

Props: We will not be using any solid props at all during our opening two minutes, this is not conventional of a thriller film. The only object we will be using is ketchup as blood.

Lighting: The lighting will be very dark and gloomy as it is inside the forest and to keep with the dark themes of the film, this is very conventional of any thriller film as it builds up suspense and keeps the audience on the edge.

Setting: The dark forest setting is a typical setting of more psychological and crime thrillers where murders and conflict can take place.

Colour and Costume: The costumes worn by the girls will be very dark and simple with no bright colours at all as the forest setting will be made dark as well, the only other colour is the red of the blood trail and make-up. The contrast between dark and one brighter colour is a typical convention of many darker thrillers.

Make-up: The make up worn by the girls will be red blood and also some black make up on their faces. Also we will edit our eye color to make it red as this will make it more spooky.

Comparing our mise-en-scene use to another thriller such as 'The dark knight'.

Props: The dark knight uses a lot more props than we are going to because they obviously have a lot more funding than we do so they can afford it and also The dark knight is also an actions film whereas our isn't so we don't need all the extra things.

Lighting: Both The dark knight and our 2 minute clip use dark and gloomy lighting to set the scene an make the viewer feel tense.

Setting: the setting we have chosen compared to the dark knight is very different. The dark knight is set in the city where there is a lot going on, but our movie 'The Sin' is set in a rural village where not much happens. We have chosen to film in a forest, there is no filming done in a forest in the dark knight.

Colour and Costume: Our costumes are going to be plain and simple whereas in the dark knight there costumes are formal and more high tech, such as The bat suit. Both films have costumes that are dark colors.

Makeup: Both movies have one/two people who have odd makeup on. In the dark knight the joker has a 'worn off' clowns face paint on his face, in 'the sin' Leah and Ellie will have dark eyes with fake blood on them to make it seem creepy. Ben, like many characters in the dark knight, will have no makeup on , just his natural face.
