Mis-en-scene Elements #2

 Mis-en-scene Elements #2

In this blog I will be talking about me and my partner Selena's ideas for props and lighting. 

For the props in our opening, we will be using props such as flashlights, phones, water, hiking equipment, and more. The flashlight in this instance will be showing how late at night it is and any dark setting in any horror film always leads to bad things which builds suspense. The phone particularly is going to be the most important prob of the opening because on her phone she will regain service and she will receive numerous text messages saying that there is a mysterious figure killing people late at night, establishing the suspense too. The water and hiking equipment will most likely only be used to show that she was on a trail or hiking late at night in the woods and she is just now returning to her car although it setting feels unsettling. 

For lighting me and my partner Selena plan on using backlit for most of the opening. The rest of the film the characters will be fully lit, and you'll be able to visibly see our characters to establish what's going on.
