Mise-en-scene and Lighting Evaluation

Mise-en-scene:
- Lighter
- Teaspoon
- Golden syrup
- Sugar
- Rucksack

- Syringe and oil
- Mascara, eyeliner and water
- Hoodie

 - The shots of the preparing of the heroin worker really well with the lighting. We used a black reflective chopping board which created a professional finish. However it was difficult to avoid the reflection of the camera and our group in the background of the chopping board so it took many attempts to complete.
- We filmed the teaspoon shots in many different angles however we thought that this angle and extreme close up shot really showed the creativity of using golden syrup and sugar to represent the drug.

 - In the shot the hand flicking the syringe we decided to use olive oil to portray the drug 'heroine'.  We were going to use golden syrup like we did on the teaspoon however we found it difficult to insert into the syringe so we decided to use olive oil instead which was the closest resemblance.
- In the shot of the girl running through the subway we used a rucksack for the miss-en-scene so portray the idea of her running away.

- In this shot we had the character wear a dark hoodie, this portrays the stereotype of the clothing teenagers wear which we wanted to convey in our trailer. The stereotypes of teenagers wearing hoodies is that they are in to crime and are unsociable. This use of mise-en-scene subverts common representations as this character is female and has a innocent appearance.
- This next shot shows low-key lighting, this lighting tends to heighten the sense of alienation felt by the viewer which is why we used it in the flashback shots of the girl looking back on happy memories.

- In these next shots we used high-key lighting this is because high-key lighting is free from dark shadows and is used to suggest an upbeat mood, we used it in these shots because this is when the girl looks back on her happy memories through the mirror.
