The document discusses how mise-en-scene elements are used in action film opening title sequences. Location and setting are normally bright outdoors or indoors to set a positive mood. Colors used include blue, green, yellow, and red to reflect happy characters, or darker colors to represent potential danger. Props depend on the film's subject matter, such as toys in Toy Story or spaceship equipment in Gravity. Costumes represent characteristics of characters through color and style of dress. Decor establishes social class through details of interior sets like wall art and materials in homes of different classes.

1. Mise-En-Scene In Action Films

2. Setting/Location
 In the opening title sequence the location
can be outside or inside but it is normally
quite a bright setting.
 Usually, in the opening title sequence the
location connotes a positive mood but also a
sense of anticipation for the audience of
what is to come.

3. Colours
 Within action films the colours used are
normally colours such as: blue,green,
yellow, red etc. This usually reflects the
action on screen of happy characters.
 However, occasionally in the opening title
sequences dark colours are used to
represent to the audience that bad things
could be happening later on in the film.

4. Props
 In action films, the props all depend on
what the film is about such as in Toy Story
the film is all about toys therefore the main
props are toys.
 In addition to that the props also depend on
the location of the film such as in Gravity
the location is in space therefore the props
are things like a spaceship or a space helmet
etc.

5. Costume
 Costumes are used to represent a certain
characteristic of that actor/character.
 The colours of the costume are significant as
the darker the colours the more dangerous or
lower classed the character is.
 Also what they are wearing will connote their
gender, characteristics and class such a an
upper class woman might wear a smart dress to
look sophisticated.

6. Decor
 This is mainly used in internal sets whereby
the class and characteristics are represented
by the decoration of the house/building.
 For example, you would expect to see an
upper class family in a big house full of
pictures on the walls, wealthy wallpaper
and maybe a bit of gold on the light bulbs
on the ceiling.
