Lighting/mise-en-scene

     

                                  Lighting/ mise-en-scene

    So I wanted to quickly go over with you guys what we did for the lighting and mise-en-scene elements of the opening. I will be discussing what we did, how did it, and why did it so that ya'll get a little bit more insight. 

                                                 Blue hues

In regards to the lighting of the film, Hannah and I used more blue tones to portray the emotional aspect of the film.  Blue, being the dominant color used, can signify a lot of meanings to the audience. It can mean coldness, isolation, calm, loyalty, melancholy, etc. In this case, it would be melancholy.  Our character is dealing with self-discovery and when Stella looks is at the movie theatre and watches this film, it inspires her but also makes her realize that she is unable to chase her dreams and be the star she was born to be.  Below is an image of part of a clip that we filmed which it involves our main subject and the blue reflecting back at her. 

                                                                  Further issues

      Along with many challenges faced, Hannah and I yet obtained another one.  So after we finished filming, Hannah and I realized that everything within our film opening had to be originally created from us.  That means that we cannot use another film to make it look like she is watching it, we would have to create our own fake film for our opening to work. So Hannah and I plan on meeting up this upcoming Tuesday to make our fake film. This will be quite time-consuming but we have to try.
