These six elements are deliberately composed by the director to convey meaning and influence the audience's interpretation. For example, the color red may symbolize danger or evil, while white can portray purity. Costumes also provide clues to a character's personality and social class.

Together, these components of mise-en-scene aim to create a sense of realism or verisimilitude for the audience.

Some of the most common include isolating characters in remote locations so they cannot call for help, incorporating darkness and a lack of cell phone signals to generate a sense of helplessness, and including mysterious noises and early deaths to set the tone and mood that something frightening is happening or lurking nearby. Characters also often make poor decisions that lead directly to their demise, playing into audiences' expectations within the genre.

The background is blurred with a shallow depth of field to focus on the subject's face, drawing the audience's attention and making the character seem enigmatic in order to intrigue the audience.

Media listening task sherlock holmes
The document analyzes the mise-en-scene elements in a Sherlock Holmes film clip. It notes that the beginning of the clip takes place at night in a dark alley or street in London. Later, Sherlock Holmes enters an old, dark building like a church where a woman is being cursed to suicide. Costumes throughout are dark-colored like black and brown to set a dark, crime scene mood. Lighting is also low to provide a tense atmosphere, and props include guns and sticks used for fighting without actual gunfights shown. Robert Downey Jr. was cast as Sherlock Holmes given his worldwide fame and fit for the role.
The Shining Analysis
The document discusses conventions used in the horror genre through analyzing scenes and characters from the film The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1980. Some of the key conventions highlighted include the use of long shadows to connote danger, high angles to portray vulnerability, low lighting and chiaroscuro effects to create mystery, exaggerated facial expressions to emphasize threats, stereotypical portrayals of weaker female characters, iconic smiles used to create an unsettling effect, casual clothing subverting expectations of danger, and settings like large homes and mazes used to generate unease. Color, shots, angles, lighting and other cinematography techniques are also examined for how they enhance the psychological elements and suspense central to horror as a genre.

Some of the key conventions highlighted include the use of long shadows to connote danger, high angles to make characters seem vulnerable, low lighting and chiaroscuro effects to create mystery, exaggerated facial expressions to emphasize threats, isolated or abandoned settings like large homes or mazes to generate fear of the unknown, and stereotypical depictions of weaker female characters compared to threatening male figures. Color, shots, angles, lighting and other cinematography techniques are explored in relation to how they enhance suspense and scare audiences through established genre tropes.
Sanctus script

- The excerpt builds tension as the protagonist is followed in the graveyard and ends on a frightening note with the discovery of the message.

- 1. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - The scene where Dumbledore dies
- 2. Low-key lighting is lighting distinguished by darkness, shadows and patches of bright key light. In this scene, the key light is the moon which is seen behind Dumbledore. The use of low-key lighting helps to illustrate the sense of danger in this scene.
- 3. This scene features close up shots of Dumbledore and Draco Malfoy. These shots reveal very well the emotion that character is feeling, and can also be quite intrusive. In this scene we see in the close-up shot the pain and fear on Draco’s face, which is important as it lets us know that he doesn’t really want to kill Dumbledore.
- 4. In a high angle the camera is above the subject. In this scene, Dumbledore is filmed from a high angle when he is plummeting from the castle. This angle helps to illustrate the weakness and vulnerability of Dumbledore at the time, as he is falling to his death.
