Indeed, film genres are known for certain aspects of mise-en-scene - lighting, costume, make-up and more. In television, popular shows such as X Factor use costume and make-up to transform 'ordinary' contestants into the next pop star or boyband.
Practical task: create a 30-60 second recreation of a classic movie scene, trying to make the mise-en-scene as accurate as possible to the original clip.
IMPORTANT: We must maintain social distancing at all times during this practical filmmaking exercise so therefore we have chosen some example scenes where characters do not get too close together. If you need to use a school location, you can only use Media rooms as we can ensure it remains within the Post-16 bubble. Choose from one of the following scenes:
Scream (1996) - opening scene
Rocky (1976) - training montage
The Breakfast Club - detention scene (middle of this clip, not the start)
The Blair Witch Project - apology scene
Example recreation: Fight Club (1999) - "I want you to hit me"
Here's an example recreation that some American film students did by taking the classic David Fincher movie Fight Club and recreating the "hit me" scene shot-by-shot. Here's the original:
...And here is the recreation with real thought behind the mise-en-scene and camerawork:
Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list:
Complete the following tasks:
1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students MUST edit their OWN version of the chosen scene.
2) Create a plan of how you will do the recreation using CLAMPS. For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original.

3) Write a script and shot list of every shot you will need for the 30-60 second recreation. Use as much detail as possible or alternatively take screenshots of the original scene to help you.
4) Film your scene using one of your phones - we have phone tripods you can sign out if you need one.

5) Edit your video to recreate 30-60 seconds of the original clip as accurately as possible. Add music if it is in the original scene.
6) Export your finished video, upload it to YouTube and post it to your blog along with a 100-word explanation of your work.
Deadline: two weeks. Good luck!
