The Roll Dance 

Mise-en-scene 

Costume -

Charlie Chaplin

  • smart black and white suit 
  • bow tie 
  • neat hair
  • moustaches 
from this custom we can gather how much Charlie is trying to impress the other, he is neat and tidy something that differs from his normal outfit showing the importance of that night to him 

The 4 Girls -
  • all wearing dresses 
  • curled, tidy hair 
  • party hats on
we know this is a dream charley is seeing and not reality therefor we are seeing the characters through his eyes. by making them pretty and well dressed it echoes the way Charlie sees them. 


Props -

  • candles 
  • plates and cutrally 
  • fork and roll
  • Christmas tress 
These props show how much Charlie is trying  to impress the other. as well as this it also creates a happy, party atmosphere. the candles signify the time passing as when he wakes up from the dream they have melted making the audience feel sympathetic as he has waited a long time for them. 


Character expression -

Charlie Chaplin

at first Charlie is clearly happy, he's talking to his guests and laughing. although this is in his dream when he wakes up and realises it wasn't reality he is sad and depressed showing how dissapointed  he is that they arn't actually there.

Setting -

firstly the scene takes place in the log cabin it is dark and dismal.


Lighting -

The main light source is the candles by using the candles it creates an intimate setting and focuses us on the characters rather than he background.

cinematography

camera shots/ angles-

Firstly it starts off with a wide shot, this establishes the setting as it allows us to see the setting and the table.
Then we see a close up, this is when he is doing the roll dance, by doing this it forces us to focus on Charlie.
The next shot is wide shot where we see an interaction with his love interest.
the last shot is a close up shot where we see Charlie upset due to his being alone.

sound-

there is only non diegetic sound during this scene.

(post 18) Audince feedback on your kuleshov effect videos

-
The koleshov effect theory is where you use the same image but change what the person s looking at this is suppose to trick the reader into thinking they are showing different emotion. When showing strangers in Wymondham Town Centre this video we got mixed emotions towards it, some did not get the theory and worked out it was the same image therefor making it seem that the theory is not true on everyone, other members of the public saw the same emption for very clip, such as like anger, and lastly no one guessed the true emotions they are suppose to being portrayed instead they only figured out 2 of the 3. all in all this shows that this theory is not as strong as first believed perhaps suggesting either the image of the person was not neutral enough or the theory only works with certain people. I was not expecting this feedback from the audience, I felt that they would of understood the concept to the extent of seeing the different emotions, this did not happen which surprised me

( post 12) mise-en-scene in him and her

                                             Him & Her In the first episode of Him & Her the setting throughout is a apartment, this apartment is messy, dark and comfy this fits the characters as firstly they are both early 20s couple therefore this age demographic wouldn't have a smart apartment, they are also unemployed so they are constantly lazing in bed, the bed is the main focal point of the bedroom and perhaps the whole apartment this draws our attention to the bed which is always messy and never made. The use of no other setting creates this safe space in the apartment and gives us an idea of what couples are like behind doors.
