Mise-en-scene External Representation

            Mis-en-Scene External Representation

Lighting

          

For the external mise-en-scene, I will be taking inspiration from the show "Atlanta." The show does a really good job on different lighting for different scenarios and makes you feel immersed into the Atlanta world or give the vibe relating to what is going on in the show. It also gives a sense of reality in most scenes where colors are less saturated where in difference, most other films or series colors are  brighter or over-dramatized like the events that happen in the show. I really hope to achieve a similar result in my project by using the light to open the viewer's emotional response for them to have some type of connection to the film opening. 

                                                       Costumes

One of the leading representations of difference between the characters persona is going to be the costumes. I will over dramatize the outfits a bit like in Etan Kohen's "Get Hard" starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart to give a taste of humor in the the project. In my project I will have the kid have a white button up shirt with dress pants and everyday casual sneakers. When he changes costumes he will be in tight jeans that are sagging or baggy clothes. The tight clothes would match with todays society so we might use those over the baggy clothes.

     Props

For the props we were gonna use items that privileged kids would have in their room, we were gonna use items like trophies, expensive gaming pc, and honor roll certificate(etc.) to show his good side. For the trophies or medals I was going to have them stacked up as a collection. I was going to put the honor roll certificate as a little object in the background of his room and for the gaming pc it's going to be shown directly to show that he is privileged.

Location

For our filming locations we have to give a sense of realism in the suburbs. We were going to use a room in a big house in a gated neighborhood. We were also gonna have a short section from the kid on the way to school in the car with his mom to show what he does to hide everything he does. We were going to use a park near the school so show the extent he goes to be someone he is not.
