Mise en scene research

For our childrens film opening sequence we decided to use the original batman and rorin characters but with a twist.In order to create our film we need to research and make use of mise on scene. Mise en scene is the use of costume, props and location where the film is based, to help the audience understand.

 

As we based our film on Batman and Robin it helped us choose our costume as we needed a batman and Robin outfit. However as we also included an extra character we needed a fortune teller costume too. The use of these super hero type of costumes appeals to children as its exciting and interesting to see someone dressed differently and be able to save the world. Therefore with the use of fun bringly coloured costumes it makes the characters seem more friendly and fun to watch and attracts our target audience of children.

   
Batman and Robin are usually filmed within a building or down a street, however as we are filming during lesson time we have decided we would base our film within a building and the wooded areas outside. The woodland areas create a sense of adverture and mystery to the clip as its unusual from everyday life to be based within the woods. Also the use of the woods makes the fortume teller appear strange and mysterious, which helps create a sense of the unknown to the viewer.


 
During our film we shall used a few props to make the film more interesting. For example we are using a few jewells and valuables to make the scene of Batman steeling more intense and shocking. We decided this because within many films something valuable such as jewells are stolen more than anything else for example from the film Night at the museum. Within the night at the museum the golden tablet was stolen, this tablet was important and valuable as is made the museum come alive at night. Another prop we shall be using is swards, for the Batman and Robin showdown. We choose the use of swards for a few reasons, one reaosn was for the safety of the group as swards where better than them physically hurting each other. Another reaosn was as a few films such as Aladin and Peter Pan use swards to fight against their enemies. This is a friendlier way fro enemies to fight as usually they just contain the sward fight and no one is actually hurt. This therefore applies to our childrens film genre as its safer and friendlier for children to watch.
