Mise en scene Preliminary Exercise (Activity 3): Setting & Set Design

 10/31/2022

A Comprehensive Blog Post for Preliminary Exercise

   During this portion of the exercise, I learned how to analyze the setting of a scene from my chosen film. The media I created is a settings discussion chart , and to craft this material, I used google slides, followed by gathering my information from skimming the film 'It 2', released on September 6th, 2022 found on Netflix. My partners Su-Young, Julien, and I used our personal laptops, which made it a swift process to design & report information onto the slide. Obstacle that we encountered during this exercise was choosing who was responsible for writing each paragraph. We were able to overcome this obstacle by noting our responsibilities: Su-Young did the description, I completed the Social-economic status, and Julien did the Cultural Moral values, along with the time period!

    During the pre production of a film, it is crucial to have the elements of setting noted in order to use clues from the story to learn more about the character, It is also important because it helps us understand how the characters correlate to their surroundings, along with bringing general captivation towards the storyline. Doing a settings discussion may help me establish the mood, For instance, a cheerleader may have a confident-bossy personality, while a nerd might wear glasses, and may be found in a library setting. Overall, using the protagonist during a character and analyzing was very proactive, and was a great step to getting closer to the production of my moving picture.
