The document summarizes the use of mise-en-scene elements in a hospital scene from a film. It discusses how lighting is used to convey different moods - warm and safe during a birthday cake scene, dark and ominous during a nightmare sequence, and bright to indicate returning to reality. Location and costumes are simple but help establish the hospital setting. Key props include a birthday cake and heart monitor. Non-diegetic music is used for some scenes while other sounds are diegetic natural sounds.

hospital clip.

2. Lighting
O This is the first snap I used to explain the cake sequence is that the light from the
candles makes the audience feel safe and warm. This second shot is of Sara in a
hospital bed during the nightmare sequence. The lighting using here is dull and dark
to help created the shadows in the scene. This will tell the audience that Sara isn't
really awake by the darkness in her room to present that there is something
happening. The third shot is where Sara is being held in Beth's arms and the lighting
is clear and bright here to help show the audience that they are back in the real
world. The lighting in these 3 shots is different to help create different concepts. The
cake scene the lighting uses orange colours to create a warm feeling for the
audience but in the second shot when she's in the bed the colours are dark green to
show the audience that something is going to happen. The third part works better
than the other two because the colours are bright showing that we are back in the
real world.

3. Location
O The location of the scene is in the hospital and it is designed at
the start to show Sara’s nightmare because it is designed with
dark colours but has the same features of the hospital for
example the heart beat monitor at the start of the scene. The
colours of the location change throughout the scene at the start
the colours are dark and grimy but toward the end the scene
becomes brighter. The differences with the shots shown is that
they look empty throughout there's nothing in the scene that
takes the audiences attention.

4. Costume
O The costumes used in this scene are simple. The first
costume is seen to be worn by Sara’s daughter. She
seems to be dressed quite casual. The second costume
of the hospital gown being worn by Sara her self tells the
audience that what ever happened to her in the crash
was serious enough to put her into hospital. At the end
of the scene we see Beth and Juno dressed in normal
clothes this will indicate to the audience that they are ok
and there's nothing to worry about with them.

5. Props
O The main props that are being used in this
scene are the birthday cake and the heart
beat monitor. The birthday cake will
represent to the audience that it is the little
girls birthday. The heart beat monitor will
set the scene at the start because it tells
us straight away that she is in the hospital
and that maybe there's something wrong
with her.

6. Sound
O The only no-diegetic sound used in this
scene is that is the music that is used
during the birthday cake sequence and
when Sara first wakes up. The rest of the
sound used in this scene is all diegetic
meaning that the sound is all natural.
