My mise-en-scene recreation video
Mr Halsey's comments
- This is an extremely ambitious scene to recreate and barring one slight editing hitch you’ve done this superbly. The four shots/locations look sufficiently different, there’s some excellent attention to detail (the eating, the expressions, the timing) and overall the scene works.
- The slight glitch when switching from the four-way split to two-way split is a clear EBI but this is an editing point and the focus of this task was mise-en-scene. With regards to that, this is a huge success!
- Another aspect is your direction – you’ve got four excellent performances here and the small details (props, reactions etc.) show you are instructing your performers and timing the scene very impressively.
Self-assessment
WWW: The timing of all the clips and making every detail of the actions the same as the original clip.
EBI: The editing definitely needs some work but I'm sure it will be something I will get better with over time.
Reflection
In the beginning of this task I ended up filming clips for an entire different film. I think I rushed into this too quickly and didn't anticipate how long it would take to film and the reality of having too many people acting in your video. However, doing more concise and effective planning my second try worked out much better. In my next video I would like to familiarise myself with more aspects of the editing software in order to improve the quality of my videos. I have learned that mise-en-scene is quite important in film and television. This is because each movement and facial expression adds to a character, so even from a short clip like I've recreated the audience is still able to have an understanding for what the characters are like without watching the entirety of the film.
