Mise en scene in our piece

Setting
The setting automatically shows the genre is a fantasy film. Because Woodland area are very common in some disney or other fantasy films, such as; Snow White, Bambi, Shrek etc.. So we though the woodland area of college would make a perfect location to film a fantasy film. Also we will be filming it around mid day, so you'll see all the different colours of trees and plants, which will create a happy atmosphere because the location looks pretty.

Costume
We have used happy colours, which also are very natural and go well with the setting, to help show the genre of fantasy in our piece. Also to give it a happy and friendly environment. The costume were:
-colourful Head bands
- clothes which were natural tone but interesting
- colourful necklaces
- A hat

make up
Bold face paint which is colourful as well, which gives a friendly presents and more interesting to look at. Also to give it more a fantasy edge to it. Also it helps separate the characters from each other.

Props
The props play a narrative role in the piece because with out them, you would notice they were having a pic nic because the characters don't talk and there is also, know narrator!! Also the props help make the set more interesting and fantasy like.

Body language
Body language played important role in telling the narrative of the film. The body language was exaggerated to make it more melodramatic, which made it more comic and to make the narrative clearer because there is no words. The body language also help show the relationship between the too characters, by making them hold hands together and to play around, it show a very friendly relationship, maybe even love!!!!

Our opening sequence will have the following:

In our opening sequence we are aiming to show:
-Setting
-Relationships
-Credits
-Genre
-Introduction of characters
-Narrative

Classification

We are rating our film a U because there is nothing in there which is sexual or violent! It does not offend anyone, also by making it a U it is open to a much bigger audience! The film is set within a positive moral-framework and offers reassuring, which counterbalances with any violence!

Ideas we have taken from 'in the night garden'

Ideas we have taken:
- The noises the characters make
- Using exaggerated sounds, emphasise things
- Using happy background music
- Colourful stuff in side the frame
- using lots of colours
