Mise en Scene

 

A Fight Scene:

the location of this scene is in a dark and dingy car park which indicates to me a slight feeling of being in jeopardy and also emphasises the sense of danger. Key elements that indicate this location are the vehicles and the structure of the building. The costumes worn by both characters are quite similar, both being dressed casually to avoid drawing attention to themselves and fitting in with the public. The body language of the leading character is very up right and tense. it is as if he is expecting to be followed and is very wary of his surroundings. Whereas, the second character is more certain about where he's going and what he is doing, he moves quickly and swiftly to make the least noise possible. The props are the most important part of this scene with the knife instantly indicating the scene of violence and the bag signifying some kind of importance as the man drops it when he fights and quickly picks it back up when he is done.
