Going into project one of this new module, We have been looking at mise-en-scene and camera direction. It is helpful to look at existing works and examine how scenes are visually composed.
I will need to think about where I’m placing characters, props and camera angles throughout the project, and how these decisions will affect the storytelling of my work. As an example, a character placed visually higher in a scene could imply authority or a cluttered bedroom could imply a disorganised personality. This also ties into the rule of thirds, which finds that our eyes are drawn to the focal points of a frame cut into thirds. Considering how I can tell my story visually will be important as I develop my characters and my world for this project.
