    Creative Digital Media Production Unit 1: Lesson 9

    What are the five elements of Mise en Scene


    Lighting
    Costume, prosthetics and makeup
    Props and setting
    Performance
    Composition
    Stylistic codes help build the look of a film or tv show but what's the point
    of them? What do they help the audience understand?
    Create mood, atmosphere, meaning and excitement
    To direct or alert the viewer; draw attention to a person, character and detail
    To indicate a specific era, climate, theme or change of timeframe
    To reflect, enhance or flatter the subject

    Watch the scene from Psycho and try to use your knowledge of mise en
    scene to analyse the meaning behind the images.
    He enjoys stuffing animals, mostly birds and the characters
    name Miss Crane may foreshadow her being killed by him. Eats
    like a bird
    Norman also loses his temper when talking about the madhouse
    and says that he has seen the inside but visitors arent allowed
    in, implying he was a patient at one point.

    Look at a 3-minute extract from any film. Watch the extract through once
    quickly and estimate how many edits there are in the piece. Now watch it
    again and mark down each time an edit occurs.

    Hot Fuzz

    Top London policeman, Nicholas Angel is sent to a quiet country


    village as punishment for being too good. But the village is not all
    it seems! Numerous deaths lead Angel into a final showdown with
    the villagers in Gods Country.
    The sequence is from the end of the film the final shoot-out
    between Angel, his sidekick Danny and the villagers.
    Hot Fuzz is a comedic take not only on action films but also on
    British village detective television series. The sequence that you
    will be looking at contains visual elements of films such as Pulp
    Fiction, The Wild Bunch, Supercop, Butch Cassidy and the
    Sundance Kid and various Spaghetti Westerns.
    This long sequence can be broken into a number of key scenes:
    1. The confrontation outside the village
    2. In the police station
    3. Angels arrival in the village the scene with the school
    children
    4. The Introduction of the villains the villagers
    5. Angels final arrival
    6. Another sequence introducing the villagers
    7. Angel dismounts and walks into the village
    8. Final introduction of the villagers
    The sequence then moves into a series of confrontations/shoot
    outs with each of the villagers to which we have been introduced.
    Activity 1:
    Choose any one of the scenes outlined above. Describe the way in
    which the various shots have been edited together. What is the
    pace of the editing? Is it a collection of a variety of short shots or
    are there longer shots that pause the action? What do the
    different shots focus on?
    The shots are very fast, rarely focusing on anything for more
    than 3 seconds.
    Activity 2:
    In the police station sequence one could say that it is divided into
    two halves of different editing pacing. How do these two halves
    balance the development of the sequence?

    The first half of the scene involves many short close ups
    zooming in on
    Activity 3:
    There are three sections that focus on the villagers. How is each
    one different in terms of the type of shots selected and the way in
    which they are edited together?

    Activity 4:
    Given the action shown in this sequence, how are we, as viewers
    of the sequence, given moments where we can pause before the
    action begins again?

    Activity 5:
    Choose five moments in the sequence that you think are typical of
    the ways in which action films are edited.
