Mise-en-scene

For this project, mise-en-scene plays a big role. It's the way that our film will look to our audience. We're going to use a lot of natural lighting since most of the opeoning takes place outdoors. One of the few inside door scenes we're doing is when Samantha is packing her stuff to go hang out. We're planning on using low-key lighting that fits her mood and style. So viewers can also have a visual representation of her lifestyle. Our scenes could look something like this

 

For Samantha's room, it would look something like this 

  

Props

Then, we're also using some props to enhance that visual representation. We've thought about using a picture frame to represent Samantha's mom, a speaker they'll use to listen to music, some sunglasses for that beachy look, as well as tote bags. 

   

These kinds of props will help establish the setting so it looks more realistic.
