I looked at earlier student productions from our centre, and looked at four productions specifically for their use of
mise-en-scene,
lighting,
editing and
sound.
The production of
Lights Out has a good use of
mise-en-scene, since it captures the essence of the 1950s era, by having
authentic costumes which fit the period and shooting their scenes in rooms and areas, which look convincing to the 1950s period. The
music used in the opening scene
1950s jazz, which makes the world inside the production seem believable. I now realize the importance of sourcing convincing props and costumes particularly where period drama is concerned.
The production of
Immortal Beloved has a
variety of shots with
good lighting. Such as in the beginning of the production, there are shots where the
light shines on half of her face, which makes it look
artistic and romantic. In the
mid shot where a bride is wearing a wedding veil, the light passes through from low down and back lights the veil, this makes for a beautiful spectacle and encourages the construction of the girl as innocent, which adds to the shock when the voice over states: 'It turns out that being a violinist in the Berlin Phil was not the only job that my grandmother had" and we see her acting as a spy in the Cold War.
The production of
Titan's Hammer uses
wonderful editing techniques to conceive a realistic yet comic production and make it feel like a
mockumentary. The
mockumentary style used in
Titan's Hammer is both conventional where the editing is slow paced, allowing for considered questions and answers, then
extremely fast paced, when the reportage is designed to re-create the drunken haze of the heavy metal duo's early days.
The production of
The Raven was characterized by the use of
voice over in the
soundtrack and was composed of Edgar Allen Poe's
The Raven. The
sound effects in the background like the thunder and lighting, create an atmosphere of
gothic horror, which is in keeping with the horror genre.
