1. Mise-en-scene
By Michael Holland

2. Lighting
 The first shot of lighting is the candles in the darkness
emitting natural light and illuminating Jessica’s face
this allows for the yellow to show only the birthday
cake and Jessica. Following this the light changes to a
green tint making the dark shadows seem much darker
also allows for the realization for the darkness is
coming. The lighting also allows for the viewer to see
how this art of the movie is different this is because it
may be connected to her hallucinations and how the
has lost everything and the lighting show she is in a
darker place now and this totally apposes the lighting
when she snaps out of her dream state and is
connected with Beth. The lighting has no green filters
and has not been edited in post production. Also
eluding to her PTSD.

3. costume
The costume in this part of the Descent is authentic and
goes well with the hospital setting this is because she is
wearing hospital gown. This is because it is immediately
after her car accident. This works because she is not
wearing her own cloths and the costume has been
thought out properly and in context with the hospital.
The cloths of Beth and Juno are same because of
continuity.

4. props
The props in the hospital are genuine props that
would be in a hospital. Props consist of heart
beat monitor, tubes and electronics along with
these of

5. Acting
The acting in this part of the scene, is the best in the
movie, this because the darkness and her condition are
controlling Sarah's emotions. Also the movement of the
actors and the running from Sarah's demons. Also the
facial expressions that Sarah is feeling confused sad and
has no understanding of where she is and is also feeling
secluded. Also the fast pace and the panting of not being
able to breath and the acting from Jessica at the star
and her birth day that he never will have.

6. Location
The location is set in a hospital this is because of
the accident that Sarah had that took the like of
her husband and daughter. The room that Sarah is
being treated in the second setting is in the
hallway where she is being chased by the
darkness this I good because of the lights tat are
being shut done as she is trying to be consumed
by her darker self.
