Planning - Mise-en-scene

Planning: Mis-en-scene (props,costume,make-up and lighting) Mis-en-scene is a french term meaning 'on the set' this covers props, costume, makeup and lighting in films. The props we will be using is a lit candle at the start of the film when the great aunt is first introduced.

The great aunt will be wearing an all black cloak and you won't be able to see her face. We have chose this as it fits in with her dark character of worshipping the devil and also connotes that she is a mysterious character that we don't want the audience too see.

we will be putting talcum powder in the great aunts hair to show oldness and make her stand out a bit more, as the lighting is going to be dark and she will be wearing dark clothes.

The family members will be wearing pyjamas as our film is set at night and they are going to interrupted by the great aunt in there sleep, the makeup for our actors are going to be natural looks as it fits the time of day our film is set in. The lighting we are planning to use is going to be dark as it is set at night but we are planning to have it light enough so the audience can still see what the actors are doing and understand what is happening but able to tell it is night time.
