Mise-en-scene Recreation Task

 Blaire Witch Recreation 

For the mise-en-scene task, I have chosen to recreate the 'Apology scene' from the Blair Witch Project. In my rendition of this scene, I intend to emulate the characters expressions and movements. I want to recreate this scene in the most accurate way possible. To achieve that, I will implement aspects of mise-en-scene.



Costume: the female protagonist is seen wearing a beanie. The rest of her costume is not seen as she does not show that to the camera.

 Lighting: The source of light is a flashlight directed at her face, coming from the right-hand side. There is very minimal lighting surrounding her. The use of only a key light creates dramatic shadows on her face and leaves the background dark. I will use a flashlight to achieve that same effect. 

Actors: The actress appears to be distressed and fearful. She also appears to have tears in her eyes. I will try to recreate her expressions and movements. 

Makeup: The actress does not appear to wear makeup, I will also not wear makeup.

 Props: The only prop used in this scene is a flashlight. I will use the flashlight as a prop in addition to lighting. 

Setting: This scene is set outside in the woods. Although it is no visually disclosed, the setting can be identified from the diegetic sounds. I will edit those sound into my recreation to emulate the same effect that was given in the original version. 

My Recreation:

The examples provided for the idea of 'style over substance' are celebrities with no talent, such as  Paris Hilton and John Edwards. Another example is the influence on branding products. Music with artistic intent is often seen in advertising, this is an example of the breakdown of the distinction between art and popular culture.
