Media Awards

The Bench


This clip used elements of mise en scene quite well. The costumes were appropriate to the context of the scene as the actors were wearing hoodies which would be stereotypical of a teenage gang. One of the main characters was wearing a suit which showed the authority he had. The main prop used was a cigarette which the actors were smoking creating a realistic sense of what their everyday life is about. There was a tracking shot used when we saw the boy riding the bike which gave us an idea of how fast he was riding and showed us his point of view. There was high key lighting in most of the clip so everything was clearly seen and seemed realistic. The make-up was used to create blood when one of the characters was beaten up, this showed the seriousness of what was going on. Non-diegetic sound was used which was the music that became more tense as the scene got more serious. There was also a voice over which was a character who was saying something about himself which portrays the fact that he played an important role in the film, this created enigma code as we wanted to find out more about this person who was speaking. The editing showed straight cuts which kept going back and forth showing what the characters were doing individually which was continuity editing as each shot made sense in the order that was shown.





WWW: The films that were shown were all very well made, the concepts were also well thought of and they all used techniques of mise en scene, cinematography and sound.

EBI: If they used more ways of including sound.
