The document discusses various elements of mise-en-scène in the film Resident Evil Apocalypse, including the setting, props, lighting, costumes, and characters. It analyzes screenshots from the film to illustrate how these elements were used to depict the fictional city of Raccoon City and convey meanings related to danger, conflict, and the viral outbreak. Key props like the virus container and newspaper headlines are described as representing the events before and after the disaster. Character costumes and makeup are discussed as signaling their involvement in fights and the deteriorating situation.

1. mise en scene encompasses the most recognizable attributes of a film – the setting and the
actors; it includes costumes and make-up, props, and all the other natural and artificial
details that characterize the spaces filmed.

3. Resident Evil Apocalypse is filmed in Raccoon City which is in Pennsylvania USA and in
Toronto Canada. The reason why they filmed in two different countries is because they
wanted to expand the location and not base it on one city.
The picture above is the fictional city Raccoon City which is in the movie but in real life is
Toronto. It is a wide screen panorama and shows lots of sky scrappers and buildings which
connotes that this is a busy business center. At the background is the suburbs of the city
with lots of greenery and small buildings.

4. The props in Resident Evil are mostly weapons such as guns, machine guns, knives and so
on. There are also props that are nothing to do with weapons, like newspapers, the virus.
These all link to the movie and even though they are small props they play an important
role in the movie.
The pictures above are two of many props in Resident Evil. The first picture is the T virus being
put into a metal case in a science lab which is a very important prop because the virus will cause
all the coming disaster. The second prop is the news paper which reads in bold “The Dead Walk”
in an almost greyish mist which represents the disaster that has happened. The two props
clearly represents the before and after.

5. For lighting and Colour I have chosen this scene from Resident Evil as you can see above.
First of all the sky is very dark with grey smoke which represents fire and danger. The
ground is very dark as well almost like it was burned, the police car is flashing its lights
which is representing help. Overall the scene is very dark and gloomy with a bit of orange
and white light to highlight the buildings. The fire is the central light which is the main
focus of the image

6. Alice who is played
by Milla Jovovitch I
the main start in
the resident Evil
series. If you look at
her hair its almost
like greasy and very
untidy which
indicates she was in
a fight with
zombies. If you look
at her eyes its like
she has not slept in
a while and is
always alert.
Her arm looks
very injured
because if you
look carefully
its like she
was burnt.
Also her neck
is dirty and
bruised from
all the fights
she has been
in.
If you look at her face its dirty like with mud and smoke which
again indicates she was in a fight.

7. This is Jill valentine
played by sienna. As
soon as you see her
face you can clearly
see what her facial
expressions are, her
eyes tells us all. It
almost looks as if
she is seeing
something strange
and figuring out
what it is or what's
happening.
In her left hand
there is a touch
and she is putting
it under the gun,
to help her see
and to help her
aim on what the
gun is pointing
at.
Her body language is very obvious. In her right hand she is holding a gun
to protect her self.

8. This shit is very interesting and has a lot of meanings. First of all you can see Alice in front of a
glass stained window of a church, and at her face there is a light shining on her which
represents she is sent down to help by God. Also at the sides of the window its pitch black with
gothic styled lamppost lights. This picture lets us see the meaning of the scene and how much
space is needed for the scene.

9. The visual effect here is the nemesis which is the monster in resident evil. From the face it is a
mask which is painted and is made out of latex, while the all of the lower body is someone
wearing a costume then added by visual effects.
