The document discusses the mise-en-scene choices for a film sequence, including settings, costumes, makeup, lighting, characters, and sound. The interrogation room setting was popular but changes to the script ruled it out. Costumes will distinguish the homeless suspect from detectives in suits. Low key lighting and a blue-filtered lamp will create suspense. Music will set an eerie atmosphere without overwhelming dialogue.

Positive feedback from audience research. Again due to script changes and availability, decided against. Would not be appropriate and very difficult to organise. 2 nd chosen setting. This is where the majority of the sequence will take place. We can transform a room at school to look like an interrogation room, with the right props and lighting. Popular setting from audience research Decided against because of changes to the script.

3. Mise-en-scene: Costume For the detectives, we will go for the convential suit and tie, showing the contrast between the law and an apparent outlaw. If we were to try and incorporate the ‘good cop, bad cop’ cliché, then perhaps one of the detectives would be less formal than the other. For the suspect, we will introduce him as if he is a homeless man. This would mean grungy, maybe ripped and baggy clothing. We would also give him messy hair and a beard. Only having three characters in the sequence, means getting costumes together is made a lot easier. We have also benefited from having a clear idea of what these characters will look like.

5. Mise-en-scene: Make up/ lighting In terms of lighting, we feel that it must be low key. Using low key lighting will enable us to create a suspenseful atmosphere, which will be in keeping with the conventions of our chosen genre. For the second setting, which will take place outside, we would like it to be dark, as this will continue our atmosphere of tension. In order to achieve a more gloomy and eerie feel at the beginning, we will be using a small but powerful lamp. We will also put a blue shirt over the lamp. As we understand, blue light is picked by up by a camera as being white. However this effect will be effective for keeping with the conventions of our genre At the moment, it is unlikely we will have to use any make up. None of our characters will require it to look convincing in their respective roles.

6. Mise-en-scene: Characters Suspect – Well dressed businessman, homeless man, young superstar > HOMELESS MAN Law enforcement – Police officers, community support officers, detectives > DETECTIVES In keeping with the conventions of most thriller films, we only want a few characters, and are going to include only three. This will make the production side of things a lot easier to maintain also.

7. Sound In terms of sound, we have identified a lot of non-diegetic sound that we can incorporate into our production. All of this music is copyright free, so we can use it wherever we need to. This tracks we have selected all provide an eerie atmosphere, which is in keeping with the conventions of our chosen genre. However none of these will take the focus away from the dialogue, which is the most important part of the sequence.
