1. The Descent
Mise-en-scene and lighting.
By Chloe Potter

2. Lighting
In this shot you can see a cake that
says “Happy birthday Jessica”. The
way the background in black and the
candles are lit makes it feel more
warm and happy.
In this shot you can see Sarah in the
hospital hallway but it has a weird
look to it. It has a greenish look
when a normal hospital would be
white.
You can see in this shot that the
background is going black as if
something was chasing her.
You can see in this shot
that the hospital is back to
normal now and it is no
longer scary.

3. Costumes
You can tell that the person in this
scene is a child because of her clothes,
they look child-like. Also the cake has
5 candles on it.
The character Sarah doesn’t
change in this scene. You can tell
she is a patient because she has a
hospital night gown on.
You can see that Beth and Juno has
their normal clothes on.

4. Locations
You can’t really see where
this is meant to be
because it is a black
background.
This shot is based in a
hospital room. You can tell
because of the bed and how
she is in the hospital gown.
This shot is based at a
hospital. You can tell
because the character is
wearing the hospital
gown.

5. Props
The cake is a prop because Jessica uses it to
blow out the candles.
The Heart monitor is a prop that they use
to make the audience question if she is
dead or not.
