Preliminary Mise En Scene Analysis.

James Bond 

Everything in this still is done with a purpose.Just from looking at this still we assume through his facial expression that the man is evil or the enemy because he is laughing as he is about to murder someone or after he has shot someone,this  shows that he doesnt really have any guilty consence and this is  very inhumane.His body position shows that he is very confident, he is also holding the gun very firmly and this tells the viewer that he is in control  and that he is powerful at this point of the movie.The gun also connotes to us power. The setting and props tells us that the man is rich and powerful,such as the statue behind him and the wood looks expensive.The lighting is high key as the man who is shooting  isnt portraying mystery or doesnt seem as if he is trying to hide the fact that he is murdering someone,this tells us that he is most likely in his comfort zone and that the other people in the building are also in on it. Dull colours are used to suggest that this isnt a happy or funny scene.The characters costume is a black coat which reflects to the viewer that he is evil or that he is the enemy.

The Graduate





From this scene we can tell that the characters are somewhere impotant by looking at  their costume,it is infact a wedding. The white flowers behind Mrs and Mr Robinson also are a clue  that they are at a wedding. The costume and hair involved in this film date the characters clearly into the 1960’s,we can see this from Mrs. Robinson’s typical 60`s updo hair.We can tell that the couple are wealthy from their clothes,for example,his suit doesnt look cheap and Mrs Robinsons fur would have been extremely expensive,her earings also look like diamond or pearl which is  very expensive. Mrs Robinsons leopard print suggests confidence and  reinforces the aspect of her character and that she is provocative and that she is hunting for prey(a man).In mise en scene depending on what the film maker wants to portray , the characters facial expressions will tell the viewer how the character is feeling.To me,Mrs Robinson looks very smug whereas her husband looks a bit worried.
