Short film practice continued

Mise en scene


The short film takes place in school classrooms and a hallway suggesting that it is about school children.
The film is set in natural lighting due to the surroundings of the school. The unedited natural lighting presents the naturalistic and simplistic school environment.
The costume is the school uniform as the film is set in school and the characters are school girls.

Sound

There is  no non-diegetic sound in the short film, only dialogue between two characters. Again, this presents the scene to be more realistic to the audience. The absence of non-diegetic sound also allows the audience to focus purely on the conversation between the characters which is the important part of the plot.

Editing

The editing within the short film is very minimalistic, there is a white blur in between the scene in the classroom to the scene to the hall way and vise versa. This bright blur represents the difference between imagination and reality as the character is day dreaming in a lesson. 
The other forms of editing are the jump cuts between all shots, Jump cuts are used to show the reaction of both of the characters whilst in conversation so the audience can see all of the action.
No other editing is used to keep the film minimalistic as the film is based on a persons life which would need to be relatable to the audience.
