Mise en scène Reading

Mise en scène is considered everything related to a certain film this includes its lighting, costumes, voices, actors and décor. During this quarter of school i spent time doing further research on why Directors use Mise en scène and how they use it, I came to understand that Film Directors make use of this in order to convoy their message to the public and deliver a feeling of curiosity to the public, this can relate to Stuarts Hall Theory because there is something the Directors want us to encode. In other words the publics perspective of the movie may depend on the setting directors have chosen.

Example of Mise en scene

As shown in the image above this is a clear example of Mise scene use, the props, lighting, costumes and the chosen place may give us a each a different view on what's happening. By observing the chosen vestment I can tell this was trying to resemble a scene from the past and the props also help me note that they must be in a opera theater. This shows that each scene of a movie can be observed for small details in order to get a better comprehension of what is trying to be convoyed.

After learning more in depth about Mise en scène It was soon time to take it into practice. During my Midterm exam I was given a Film to analyze, I then proceeded to take notes on what was going on including camera shots and the actors dialogue, after continuously watching the film i was able to breakdown what was going on the scene and the meaning of each character. This shows that as being part of the public we should be somewhat observant, directors work hard choosing components for a scene and us to appreciate.

Microaggressions in films and how it affects my life.

What is you perception of this Pixar video, what was the message, theme? I think the theme was Stereotype or bias. Because we can see how the small birds treat the big bird differently just because he does not fit in, they start to mock him and then karma hits them and the blue bird starts mocking them. The message was we should not treat each other different just because of our appearance. Where do stereotypes come from? I think stereotypes come from the social groups we create ourselves. It can start from our race, origin and sexual orientation, some people start by perceiving something different and that becomes the way they treat them. Stereotype can become hurt someone morally, were so used to this that we can guess someone's ethnics and even beliefs. A example of stereotypes can be the single stories, If we tell a story about someone even if its true it becomes who they are to society we have caused this by treating each other in a negative way and unconsciously beli...

Does Gender Representation make Presence in Music Videos?

Girls Chase boys. The video clip girls chase boys by Ingrid Michaelson shows Men as back up dancers instead of women which is commonly used for music videos in order to break a form of gender stereotype. It achieves this meaning through the use of wardrobe makeup and choreography. I chose this form this music video clip because Ingrid Michaelson made it as a tribute or also considered alike to Robert Palmer's film because he used women instead of men, Ingrid Michaelson had a clear message of we all are the same and we deserved to be accepted as equals. In the music video we can see the back up dancer dressed and using makeup as filmmakers or the music industry would put on women. Take note the choreography plays a key part in gender representation because there is a form of stereotype that men ...
