What my team and I are aiming for in terms of mis-en-scene is to have the setting (the room) reflect the character and her inner struggle. As my teammate Austin pointed out, "the room looks so small, but so large at the same time." We wanted to have the room be spacious to symbolize the emptiness the character feels within herself, but also when in the room. The vast height of the room portrays an unusual vacancy that we intend on having viewers feel.
We wanted to use colors such as, tans, creams, whites, and blacks to represent the bland and neutral aesthetic the protagonist is attempting to emulate with her social media presence. We took inspiration from the chic, couture route where these colors highlight elegance and class as well as for the actual articles of clothing that will be shown.
An additional aspect that we intend on touching on is the character's repressed person. In contrast to the sophistication she wishes to show the world online, in reality she is someone a bit different. Someone who enjoys making colorful art and doesn't conform to dressing normal or "posh." We want to demonstrate this with paintings and excess clothing in her closed closet, as if she is wanting to hide all of herself away from the world.
It was a bit unreal placing all the elements in the room, mainly because I couldn't believe we were already going to film this especially considering the fact we had an entirely different idea for an opening a little more than a week ago. I am ready to shoot this on Sunday and it does inlay confidence within me the fact we are getting filming out of the way this early into the process. I am excited to update you guys on how this turns out!
