Mise-en-scene: Facial expressions

1. IMAGE 1
Denotation: I can see Spider-
Man and Mary Jane out in the
rain, kissing each other.
However Spider Man appears
to be covering his face from
Mary Jane, and they both seem
to be very gentle with each
other, as Mary Jane is holding
his head in a very gentle way.
Connotation: From seeing how
gentle and how Mary Jane has
got her eyes closed shows how
relaxed they both feel, and the
rain helps show the clear
romance that is going on
between the two.

2. IMAGE 2
Denotation: This man has his eyes
scrunched, eyebrows raised and his
teeth clenched. His skin also seems like
its gone slightly red with his neck and
shoulders at the same level.
Connotation: This shows that the man is
extremely frustrated, as his facial
expressions show to the audience that
he isn’t in a good mood.

This woman’s face has a smile on it, showing
that she is in a very good mood, whilst her
body is shown to be loose, as she has an
open body posture with one hand on her
shoulder, which symbolises her care free
character. The use of making her hand flick
her hair also supports this connotation.
