The Riot Club

2. Mis-en-scene in the riot club
As you can see from the trailer the clothing worn is very smart and posh, they
are wearing a tuxedo for most of the trailer showing how posh they are. They
tend to be holding wine bottles a lot as well, wine is very expensive and it
shows how intellectual one is, it portrays the boys as adults rather then just
university students. The props and clothing convey how rich and powerful
they are just because their rich, you can tell they arrogant people from the
their body language and facial expressions .

3. Lighting in the riot club
The lighting used in this trailer varies from scene to scene, when there is
trouble the lighting dims emphasizing how serious the scene is, but when the
scene is set in broad daylight the lighting changes in to bright lighting. For
example when one of the characters was punched by one of the boys the
lighting was dim indicating that what he did will result in serious
consequences. The dark lighting foreshadows the darkness that will befall
these boys

4. Camera shots In the riot club
The camera again reflects how serious some scenes are the different angles
convey what is happening to the audience. The scene where miles has blood
all over his clothing is shown in a high angle shot, this makes him look
vulnerable as does his facial expression, portraying him as the vulnerable
character. In other scenes like when the leader boy was standing on top of the
table in the bar, the camera was looking up at him this shows the authority
this boy has compared to miles. The camera angles convey a different side to
each character, as shown in the pictures below.

5. Sound in the riot club
The music being played at the start of the trailer is playful music but as we get
to the middle of the trailer the music takes a dramatic turn, and the music
becomes more intense, this sis the part in the trailer when one of the boys
punches the man in the face and the man unexpectedly falls to the ground,
the music here indicates that something bad has happened to the man. As
the scenes get more violent the music gets faster and faster suggesting how
quickly one can go from a high to a low. Like other this trailer also pauses the
music when there is dialogue highlighting the importance in the speech.

6. Editing in the riot club
There is a lot of editing used in the trailer, the editing highlights the
seriousness of the scenes. In the middle of some of the violent scene there
are words used to describe the boys behaviour, these words are powerful
words that portray the amount of power these boys have. Throughout the
trailer the camera just cuts from scene to scene according to the music,
where as when one of the boy punches the old man the camera dissolves to
the next scene this emphasizes how this scene is the turning point for the
movie.
