Mise-en-scene elements research

 As I mentioned in my previous blog the film opening is going to include a couple mise-en-scene elements to bring the whole project together. Today I'm going to be looking at a few different videos and films that used some mise-en-scene elements to develop the meaning. 

The first video is a mini movie FIFA (Federation Internationale Football Association) made. They created a mini movie on the world cup final. Even without the title you can tell that the movie is going to be about a big soccer game. The video creates a tense feeling to the audience because the world cup final is really that and more. The most watched sports game in the world is the most important game around the globe. What FIFA did was create an opening to the actual game basically showing around the locker room of both teams before the game. Player shirts, gloves, and even the ball the game was played with were shown and as an Argentine and soccer lover I felt for a second that I went back to the most important day of my life. In my film opening I'm going to try to use this by getting things that my audience is connected to and expand from there. Let me explain. The audience for my movie is every teen of male of some sort that has ever wanted to go pro for soccer. In the film opening I'm thinking of adding things that they do everyday to sort of connect them to the character like practicing most days. But when the character gets bullied then they can be mad at the people instead of just not caring much.

The second film opening I will be looking at is high school musical. I know you're thinking what does that movie have to do with his film opening but in reality all that I'm taking away from this film is its costume design because holy did they do to good. The character were so easily identified as students when they were shown with back packs. But when they were shown with different outfits people could tell their personality with out thinking twice. In my film opening I'm going to incorporate this in the school bullying scene. The bullies are going to be wearing a rugby shirt from their club that they play with normal back packs. The main character is going to be wearing a worn shirt with sweat stains and all over plus a torn/ used backpack to show that the player doesn't have money to go around.
