Possible Mise en Scene

Hair styles:

Our females hair styles will vary throughout the piece to show the duration of time passing. Shown below are possible hair styles we could use. The two hair styles below are feminine and girly, which is how we would like to portray our female character. These two specific hair styles are stereotypical for teenagers, both quick and easy.

Props:

Shown below are two props we aim to use within our piece. We want to use an iPhone to relate to our audience, iPhones are very popular amongst teenagers, our target audience. This should make some scenes relatable to them. Another prop we aim to use is chocolates, this is stereotypical in romance films and on Valentines Day for a man to give chocolates to a women. Therefore if we include this prop it could help in making our genre clearer.

        
 
Setting:
 
 
 
 
 
The first two pictures were of the bedroom we used, this room fitted a typical teenage girls room. It already had some red props in it, but we decided to add some more props such as red heart lights and a red cushion to make it seem more romantic and fit the conventions of a romance.
 
 
 
The second location was a living room area which they would dance in. We wanted it to be a living room to match our story board and also this room had the most space for the dancing and to the people shooting in it too.
 
 
This is our final location we used inside the house, we used a bathroom for the teeth brushing scene which is obviously logical as that's where you brush your teeth, the bathroom worked best as it was an easy view of the mirror to get the lipstick shot after.
 
 
The kitchen location was for the birthday cake, we decided a kitchen had the right height surface to bend over and blow the candles out and enough room for us still to get the shot.
 

Costume:

 

 
This is for the female character when they're brushing their teeth in the mirror, we chose this outfit as it was casual and reflected her comfort around the male character and showing that they were in a relationship with each other. It was also a very similar outfit for the male character showing their lounge wear and reflecting the lack of effort for their outfits within their house.

                             



We made the male character dress quite formally as if they were on a date, especially as he brings her chocolate in the scene which is typical for men to do for women on dates. The female in this scene is wearing quite feminine clothes and as we didn't have a red scarf that she could use to represent the genre of romance so we used pink which is quite a pretty girly colour and also has connotations of compassion, nurturing and love.
 
 
In this scene we wanted both of the characters to be quite casual however quite comfortable so we decided for our male just to be wearing chinos and a black jumper which is a standard and everyday outfit for a teenage boy. The female character on the other hand is wearing a black skater skirt and a black jumper, with a white collar underneath to make it seem more dressy and this is also shown through her jewellery. We still incorporated an element of red to keep the romance theme constant throughout however, it was more subtle this time with her wearing red frilly socks, showing romance and femininity.

We felt this would be quite a autumn/winter scene so we decided that the characters should be wearing thick/warm clothes reflecting the season and the time passing throughout our montage. Our female character would be wearing quite dark plain clothes, a big winter coat and a wool scarf which would give emphasis to the winter season they're in however, we incorporated some red into the scene which has connotations of love and passion, therefore, our female character would be wearing red lipstick and a subtle red nail varnish. Also the male would be wearing a quite bright red tie which contrasts against his black shirt and black coat, again emphasising the season they are in.

 

 
This is the outfit we chose for our female character when she is at the hospital, we felt a more casual outfit would be suitable as she would be feeling a lot of fear for her boyfriends life therefore, we felt she should be wearing no make-up and a scruffy outfit. From the idea we chose a simple checked flannel shirt and some black leggings and boots showing her lack of care and putting more focus of her boyfriend who is fighting for his life.
