Careful use of Mise-En-Scene

ClothingFor clothing, my group and I opted for simple black clothes for our female protagonist. We did this in order for the character to be more personal and intimate for our target audience, wearing what many teenagers would wear as well as the black clothes signifying danger as well as misfortune which will await her.

Indoor Filming

We filmed the majority of our scenes indoors as real media texts such as Unfriended use domestic settings in order to be more personal for their audience to frighten them more. We also often filmed at night indoors as we, as people, are more vulnerable at night.

School Filming As our target audience are our age, we have used the setting of school in order to make the scenes more intimate and relatable therefore when the school becomes ominous in a scene of our trailer, where it appears as if someone if behind her, the audience are more likely to be frightened.

Outdoor Filming

Finally, we used a forest at the beginning of our trailer to not only distort the viewers with a location used once but also use the Enigma Code to raise a question of why it is there. As the forest is empty, the viewers and characters will feel isolated and vulnerable. With the question of why something is being buried, the scene will evoke danger and fear.
