Mood Board Analysis of Mise en Scene

We have created a mood board showing the different elements of mise en scene we want to feature in our film opening. We have included a picture of a house. We think we should have the main characters home involved because it sets a scene which people can get used to and which the audience keeps coming back to. It also shows what the main character's home life is like, and shows what class they are, e.g. working class, middle class. Showing the audience her home introduces her family. We also thought alcohol would be a good element of mise en scene to include as most British social realist dramas feature it. It is a big part of youth, and it means we can create some of the characters as alcoholics. We have put a photo of fighting in our mood board because it is going to be a strong feature of our sequence. Violence is a strong feature of British social realist dramas. Violence we want to feature includes domestic violence towards Rosie, which again is a strong feature of this genre of this film. We have included a photo of a school in our mood board because this creates another main setting for the film, and shows the age of the characters.
