Mise - En - Scene Research

Props - The props involved with our filming will include the murderer's weapon, which shall be a cane. This is supposed to be a strange weapon for a murderer to carry, and will raise suspicions in the audience.  Also, we are going to be using earphones for the victim, this will make the victim seem more vulnerable as he will not know what is going on around him; the audience will clearly hear the music that the victim is listening to, to put more emphasis on this.

Lighting - We will film the opening around sun down, to create a dark and gloomy effect and also to hide the murderers identity.  We aim to create some silhouette effects by taking advantage of the lighting of the location.

Costume - The murder shall be wearing all black clothing to hide his/her's identity and also help to create some of the silhouette effects. The victim will be wearing everyday clothing but a lighter colour to portray him as more vulnerable to the murderer.

Setting - The opening will be set at Odin's house which is located in a isolated rural area which will add to the dark and gloomy effect which will be created by the low key lighting created by the time of day.

Colours - Trying to keep to the dark and gloomy effect we are looking for, we will try to avoid using bright colours which would ruin the mood of the opening, apart from the victim, who will have delibarately bright clothing on.
