The Ride
Mise-en-scene:
- Clothing on characters are casual portraying may be within lower or middle class.
- Set in an every day place, very minimalistic set with only the set and a few shops putting all focus on the characters.
- Set also seems very realistic to viewer,
Sound:
- No non-diegetic music throughout the film until end when car disappears into distance.
- Allows audience to focus on dialogue between characters other than music
Lighting:
- Quite dim lighting portraying a musky area at day time.
Camera shots:
- A lot of conversation in film so medium close ups and two-shots are used to clearly show both characters and the tension between them.
- Reaction shots also used to capture emotions of the two people when they are speaking to each other.
Narrative:
- Film begins slowly in terms of action building up sense of enigma for audience as you can tell something is about to happen as the male character is clicking his pen in nerves.
- Slow beginning leads to fast twist at end which is unexpected from the audience then suddenly ends.
- The twist makes it an interesting and effective short film as it is not expected.
Room 8
Mise-en-scene:
- Set in a prison with very few props such as bed and desk representing simplicity of a prison cell.
- Costume is a dull uniform, both characters are wearing the same as the same uniform is worn throughout the prison,
- Men seem unclean showing nature of where they are.
Sound:
- Foreign language heard at beginning followed by eerie diegetic sound suggesting the emptiness of prison and how the male character is not familiar with his surroundings.
- Non-diegetic music comes in building up as characters emotion builds and it continues to grow as the man tries to escape out of the prison cell.
- Music builds and is at it's peak when the man gets caught and put into the match box.
- Stops when he is then caught and put into the draw as if it was a natural occurrence.
Lighting:
- Low key dark lighting representing the gloom and being trapped in the room.
- Contrasts with bright light outside the room emphasising the freedom at his reach and the hope to escape.
Camera shots:
- Medium close ups used showing characters expressions in the dialogue and emphasising how uncomfortable they feel around each other as they are unfamiliar with each other.
- Close up on males face emphasising his expression and temptation to leave the room.
- Establishing shots of the room are used to add to the plot when the lid of the box is open.
Narrative:
- Men are captured in prison cell, the idea of being trapped is a configuring concept.
- This draws the audience in as you think he is going to escape when in fact a twist occurs as he gets put in a match box like lots of other men as if it is normal.
