Research into final film idea: Mise-en-scene


Psychological thriller

Mise-en-scene


Setting - 
The start of our story will take place in a psychiatrist office which in instituted in a mental unit. The room will be a pale colour and only have basic needs such as a simple single bed and a table and chairs for where the interview will take place. There will be a tape recorder situated on the table and only simple appliances such as a coffee mug, paper and pen. Around the room on the walls will be different pictures of the incident Lucinda has took part in and will be questioned about.

Costume:
Lucinda - Lucinda will be wearing a long gown that she will have been given whilst in the mental unit which will seem slightly larger then her body making her look frail and ill so she looks like she hasn't been eating properly. The gown will be slightly dirty too so she looks as though she hasn't washed or been looking after herself. She wont be wearing shoes and will have a band around her wrist to show that she is a patient at the mental unit. Her hair will be very long and dark covering her face making her look eerie. It will be scraggy as though she hasn't brushed it in a while.

The girl from 'The Ring' wears a similar gown and hair


Interviewer/psychologist - She will be dressed in very smart yet causal clothing to make her look professional but not too authoritative. She will have a casual blazer on, pencil skirt, blouse, small heels and a pair of glasses to make her look intelligent. Her hair will be pinned up into a messy bun so we are able to see her facial expressions clearly. Her makeup will be neutral so that she doesnt stand out too much.

Outfit

Sign interpreter - She will be dressed more casually in plain colours so she doesn't attract too much attention. She will be wearing a normal shirt, cardigan, trousers and flat shoes so that she doesn't appear to have concentrated on her appearance too much. Her makeup will be causal and her hair will be down going past her shoulders.

Make-up:
Lucinda - The actor of Lucinda will be wearing makeup to make her look ill and sinister. The make up will be applied to make her face look realistically pale so she looks unwell. Dark make up will be applied around her eyes to make them look hallow as though she hasn't had any sleep for weeks. Contouring will be done around her face to make her cheekbones stand out more so she looks very thin and fragile. This will make Lucinda appear very ill as though she hasn't eaten regularly. Her lips will also be white to make them appear thin.

Lighting - The lighting in our scenes will be very light with a slight blue tone to it. This is to reflect that they are in a mental unit as hospitals are seen as very white and clean. It also will make Lucinda's dark long hair stand out more and seem more sinister as it will be black hair on a white background. The blue tone to the scene will make it seem more cold and therefore more creepy.
Blue tone
In The Ring they use bright lighting to emphasis her long dark hair
Props - The props used will be to make the mental unit room seem realistic as possible. The essentials for the scene are the table, chairs, tape recorder and crime pictures on the walls as these are needed for the story to portray. Other items are to make the scene seem more casual, such as coffee mug, paper, pens and a lamp.
