MISE-EN-SCENE

Hello, I'm back!!! Today I want to decide on some mise-en-scene elements that I want to incorporate into my opening. The first thing I want to focus on is costumes/colors. I want each character to have a meaningful wardrobe and color to them.

Asher: I thought he should wear a white shirt and baggy jeans for his character. I think the white, in my head, corresponds with the visions, and the jeans make the outfit casual and basic. These two things together paint Asher as just a regular guy while also corresponding with his character. The shoes would be the same as in this picture because the person playing Asher has these shoes and they go with the outfit nicely.

Mark: I picture Mark wearing also a very basic outfit but I picture him wearing black. He is a very laid-back and "chill" guy and I feel like he and Asher are almost like Ying and Yang because they balance each other out and work really well together. Here is what I want him to wear (except with lighter washed jeans and no bag):

Ruby: For Ruby, I had a picture of my friend who was going to play Ruby and she was wearing the exact outfit that I imagined in my head so It made it a lot easier. I imagine Ruby as being preppy, cute, and feminine. I also think the outfit is a nice contrast to Mark's outfit which shows that they are very different but they complement each other. Here is the outfit:

Jade: I've been having trouble trying to decide what I want Jade to wear because I want her to be edgy but I don't want her to be too edgy. After some brainstorming, I decided on this. I think her color would be black and I think this outfit is a good mix of edgy, basic, and a little girly. (lighter washed jeans)

Claire: I wanted Claire to be very girly and feminine. I thought pink would represent this the most and I want her to wear this outfit:

Besides costumes, I have the props that I have discussed in my past blog posts here they are again:

And here is the setting in which I want to film:

I'm glad that I got costumes figured out and reassured my other elements because filming is NEXT WEEK!!!! I feel very ready I'm just missing a teensy bit of research on filming approaches which I will do tomorrow!!
