Mise-en-scene

Mise-en-scene

The lighting used in this image high key lighting. This is used to create a realistic look. from this you can infer that the genre of this film could be based around drama. There is a high use of top and back lighting. this helps get rid of any harsh shadows created which is ideal for the setting of this image. As they are in an open space it will need to seem like the characters are being lit by natural light so they may not have used as many filler lights in order to create some soft shadows for it to appear like it naturally created by what the audience would assume be the sun. The costume of the characters are very natural and casual compared to what it would be if it was an action film or a science fiction film. The make up of the characters is also very natural which gives us a idea that the genre is drama as if it where to be a science fiction or fantasy film they would most likely have a lot of make up to emphasize that the characters are unusual if it were about aliens.







The costume is black and a common connotation of black is death. This suggest that the film is a horror film which contains murders and usually a lot of death. Black could also be a secretive colour which is further emphasized by the mask that the character is wearing which is covering his entire face showing he wants to hide his identity from everyone. the fact that the the mask he is wearing is of a wolf could try to show that he is a predator and that he is thirsty for blood which is what is the outcome of murders. The lighting used is low key lighting which is conventionally used in horror movies because it creates a lot of shadows. In this poster there is a use of dim back lighting used to create an almost silhouette look emphasizing the fact that the character is unknown. The use of props emphasizes the genre of the film as the character is holding what looks like a machete that is covered in blood. Blood is a key aspect of horror films therefore the audience of the film are able to recognise this and get an idea of what to expect in this film.

The lighting in this film is low key lighting. The effect this creates is suitable for the genre of the film which includes slight thriller hence the dark colour of the background ass well but it is also an adventure/action film. The contrast between the light and dark could suggest the difference between good and bad. there is a use of top lighting which is evident from the top of the dinosaur's head. instead of making the characters look more glamorous the character looks more dangerous from this effect it makes the dinosaur look big. there is a use of under lighting which makes the dinosaur's features more prominent and more threatening. The setting is in an open place which is a conventional setting for an action/adventure movie. The open space allows more of the action set-pieces to be seen on screen and allows there to be more detail in on frame. 

The setting of the film shows that they are out of space and on an extraterrestrial planet. This is the first clue that this is a science fiction film. The lighting used is low key lighting this creates shadows which could suggest the tension in the atmosphere or future danger. Since this is a sci-fi film it is going to have a lot of action set pieces so the open space setting suggest something is about to happen. The costume also implies that it is not a part of our world. This is because we wouldn't need to wear masks if we were outside, which shows that something is out of the ordinary. The mask looks like its made out of metal which is not what the mask we usually wear is made out of, which could mean it is used to protect the character from something very dangerous or in this case since it is a human in space it is just be used to help him breathe.

Film Poster Analysis

1. Blade Runner

From what i can see in the poster i think the film is about a man who is on the run from something and that people of higher rank than him are searching for him in order to kill him. I think the film is a sci-fi, action movie because of the hovering vehicles and the main character holding a gun. I think the target audience would be for adults as it doesn't really suggest that it will have anything that is suitable for younger audiences which is evident from the female character on the poster smoking which isn't something that would be advertised to kids.



2. Scary Movie 2

I think this film is about people watching a scary whist being in one in real life and also it may have a comedic element to it as it says at the top of the poster "absolutely hilarious".the story line of this film may be a couple of young adults watching a movie and during the movie lots of horrible things happen to each character one by one. The genre of this movie may be horror and comedy. the target audience may be aimed at people who are teenagers and above this may be because the 3 actors in the front look quite young which could be more appealing to a younger audience.



3. UZAK

This film could be a narrative from the main character's perspective during a time of war and difficulties. the story line of this film could contain many personal struggles and loneliness since in the poster he is standing alone. I think the genre of this film is based around a historical, drama. the target audience of this film could be for the older generation so people around the age of 30 and above.



4. I'm Not Scared

This film could be about a kid who has to face through many struggles and has to prove to himself and others that he isn't scared of what he has to face and that he can do it. I feel like the genre of this film would be Adventure but also a little horror. It doesn't look like it would be suitable for a younger audience despite the fact that the poster features a kid. so i would assume the target audience is for people                                                    who are around 15 and above.



5. Sin City

I think the film is about about a city filled with sinful people committing crimes and other brutal things. I think the genre of this film is thriller and action since on the poster it has guns innit which is typical in an action movie however the dark background/color setting suggest a thriller element to it as well. I would think this movie wouldn't be suitable for young teens so the target audience would be around 18 and above.







6. Pirates of the Caribbean

I think that this film is about a pirate who brings two people along with him on his quest to look for a something he deems precious. what i think the story line could be is the male and female characters are in love and their lives have been disrupted by the pirate who has manipulated them two into coming along with him. I think the genre of the film is adventure since mise-en-scene of the poster conveys that it is filled with action packed set-pieces which is shown in the middle of the poster with the sinking boat and the long tentacle. I think that the target audience for this film would be people who enjoy action/adventure movies, usually this is people                                      who are young so around about the age of 10 onward. 



7. Bride and Prejudice

I think this film is about two people wanting to get married but are from different backgrounds and the two families are in conflict because they have different opinions on the partner to be. i think the genre of this movie would have to be romantic and drama. therefore it would appeal to young teens as a target audience , also mainly female audience.


8. Million Dollar Baby

The poster of this movie suggest that it could be about a child that grows up to be worth a lot of money and her life could be in danger and hence why it looks like she might be thinking about taking up a sport like boxing to defend herself. The genre of this film could be action and drama. The target audience for this film could be for people aged 15 and above. I would assume that the majority of the audience would be female as the main antagonist is what looks like a dominating female figure which could appeal to that specific gender.
