Mise-en-scene : Setting & Props

Hiii Cambridge!! Today I am talking about mise-en-scene. My group and I finally named our protagonist... PIPER!!! We also went to Party City because it is sadly closing and EVERYTHING was on sale. We got most of our props for the film opening and figured out what we wanted the setting to look like. We want the house to have warm lighting and graduation colors, sooo we got gold and white props.

Props

- Balloons/Surprise Banners: These props help show the viewer that there is a party going on.

- Confetti Poppers: These will be used to emphasize the surprise and to shock Piper.

- Food and Drinks: These props are what are in typical parties to give more context to the viewers.

- Phone: The phone is going to be used to show all the videos/memories to the viewers

- Graduation Cap/Diploma: These props are used to show the Piper graduated.

Setting

Entryway: The entryway of the house will be dark as if no one is there. Then Piper is going to walk into the house.

Car: Piper is going to be coming home from a graduation dinner

Living Room: The living room is where the party will be held

Bathroom: Piper is going to be on the bathroom floor reminiscing

Memory/Video Scenes

Gas station: Piper's friend group is going to be at the gas station after sneaking out and getting snacks.

Park: Piper's friend group is going to be on a walk for another one of the memory scenes.

Bedroom: Piper's friend group is going to get ready for a party for one of the memory scenes.
