2. Mise –En – Scene.
Lighting.
This is the beginning of the sequence, a cake is
shown saying “Happy Birthday Jessica”. The
lighting of the cake resembles a warm feeling.
Also they have the background completely black
so the only light source is the candles on the cake.
It changes from this to a greenish glow of her in a
hospital bed.
The lighting in the hospital scene has a different kind
of light to it. There is a greenish tone to it. Also the
constant black outs of light in the corridor indicate it
might be in her head and not in real life. It goes from
having a greenish glow to how a normal hospital
should look.
The part when Sarah runs in the light into her
friends arms indicated to the audience that she is
safe and out of harms way.
