Mise En Scene

Anisha Sahota

Lighting

In this scene, night vision is used to show the lack of visible and bright lighting, indicating the dark experience the girls are about the encounter. Attention is drawn to the sprinkling of water, which is only seen through the light directed from the helmet. The second print screen shows all the girls individual lights surrounded by complete darkness, portraying that there is no positivity or a change in their circumstance. This third print screen shows Juno bringing more light to the circumstance, showing an irony as she is known to be an unfaithful character.

Location

The location in clip 4 shows a steep dangerous mountain, as there is a type of liquid Spraying directly into one of the girls face. This emphasizes the struggle that the girls are In, physically and mentally. They are also climbing in oblivion, as they are unaware of What is around them and what is at the top of that mountain. One of the clips shows some of the girls on ground floor, making more progress as they have this power of light in their hands. Surrounding the girls are dull brown caved walls, connoting a sense of hopelessness and Darkness.

PropsThe water machine directs the sprinkling of water that busts out onto the girls. This is a significant prop because it adds to the obstacles that the girls have to face. The bones in this scene, connote to the ideas of death, fear and perhaps the girls future fate. The bones as props are successful in predicting a type of doom that the girls will come too.

Movement and ActingThe first print screen shows Juno trembling in panic as she lights the flame, showing a sense of anxiety of what she might see before her. The acting of this print screen shows her facial expressions to be frightened and nervous. Juno is also breathing heavily which again implies the idea of her being anxious and afraid. The second print screen shows the crawler again, luring over one of the girls, perhaps in position to attack her until she sees him. The crawler is looking directly at the camera, giving more of a fright as it looks directly at the audience. The girl runs as soon as she sees the crawler, as well as all the girls panicking and screaming.

Costume+ Hair and MakeupProsthetics are used on the crawlers, to give them an extra layer of abnormality and fright for the audience. They appear to be very pale and thin characters, perhaps portraying zombie-like qualities. The close up of this shot is emphasized, as both characters have a pale complexion. Juno has a sweating, dirt covered face that replicate the hard work she has encountered in climbing the mountain. Juno is also wearing a vest top, showing the audience the weather conditions of the cave. She is also wearing a helmet, showing that there needs a sense of protection.
