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!!!!

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

childrens film opening sequences!
Nanny McPhee
The music tells the viewer the genre of the film and the time period. This is confirmed by the clothing of the characters.
This film opens with a shot of a chair and a voice over.
The voice over begins to tell us some background information about the characters.
The narrative voice over continues as we are shown an extreme long shot of the house and grounds, which shows the viewer the setting.
This then zooms in to the house, where the Nanny of the children bursts out, running to fetch the father and screaming that the children have 'eaten the baby'. The extremity of this statement shows that this is a comedic film. The fact that this is quite childish humor shows that it is a childrens' film. Another thing that shows us that this is a childrens' film is that the colours are very bright.
Spy Kids
the film is opened with a extreme long shot which then zooms closer towards a house, this then sets the scene. The house is on the coast and its very foggy and isolated and the music is what we would associate with spies as its quite eerie. It zooms in this young girl looking out the window longingly, and this gives the viewer the impression that she is lonely which is also shown by the fact the house is very isolated. The girl then asks her mother too tell her this story about two spies who fall in love, the camera shot is a close up of her face when she lights up whilst hearing the story which shows that she loves this story, which shows it is important in this movie.
